  • Patent number: 8794847
    Abstract: A bearing assembly includes an outer ring having an inner circumferential surface and a generally annular recess extending radially outwardly from the inner surface. An inner ring is disposed at least partially within the outer ring so as to be rotatable about a central axis, the inner ring having an outer circumferential surface spaced radially inwardly from the outer ring inner surface and at least one integral shoulder extending radially outwardly from the outer surface so as to be disposed at least partially within the outer ring recess. The shoulder is engageable with the outer ring when the inner ring is subjected to an axial force so as to substantially prevent axial displacement of the inner ring relative to the outer ring. Preferably, a plurality of rolling elements are disposed between and rotatably couple the inner and outer rings.
