Abstract: A bearing assembly movably supports a component on a shaft. The bearing assembly includes a pair of annular bands spaced apart axially and projecting radially inwardly from the component. The bands form an annular slot therebetween. An annular bearing member is mounted on the shaft. The bearing member has a larger diameter central flange and a pair of smaller diameter rings projecting axially for opposite sided of the central flange. The central flange is received by the slot, and each ring is positioned between the shaft and a respective one of the bands. The bearing member has a T-shaped cross-sectional shape.
