  • Bearing assembly for supporting components to permit limited rotational movement
    Patent number: 6637736
    Abstract: A bearing assembly permits limited rotational movement of component parts and includes a bearing body and a deflectable rotational body attached to the component part. The rotational body is disposed at a distance from the bearing body so that the bodies conjointly define a space therebetween. An intermediate element is disposed in this space and is connected to the bearing body and the rotational body. The intermediate element includes an axial component and a radial component and these components extend one into the other to form a layer so as to prevent a direct contact of the bodies with each other even under a dynamic loading of the bearing assembly while at the same time facilitating a limited rotational movement of the rotational body and the component part relative to the bearing body.
