A bearing assembly for supporting a shaft to enable the shaft to rotate, to move axially, and to pivot relative to the bearing assembly. The bearing assembly includes a first annular bearing for supporting the shaft to provide for relative rotational and axial movement therebetween and having a curved outer bearing surface. A second annular bearing surrounding at least a portion of the curved outer bearing surface of the first bearing and enabling pivotal movement between the first and second bearings. A mounting plate having a portion thereof which circumscribes the second bearing and is adapted to be fixedly mounted. A lubricant reservoir is located in the mounting plate and communicates, through suitably formed passageways, with the bearing surfaces between the first and second bearings and between the first bearing and the supported shaft. |
