  • Patent number: 5183342
    Abstract: A bearing assembly includes a split inner race disposed on a distal end of an output shaft disposed coaxially about an input shaft. A plurality of bearing elements are disposed around the inner race, with a stationary outer race surrounding the elements. The inner race includes a plural number A.sub.1 of radially extending splitline channels in flow communication with a circumferential splitline manifold between the inner race and the output shaft distal end. A first half of the inner race includes a plural number B.sub.1 of radially extending first channels disposed in flow communication with a circumferential first manifold defined between the inner race first half and the output shaft distal end for channeling oil to the cage. The output shaft distal end includes a number A.sub.2 of axial splitline feed groves joined in flow communication with a respective number of radial splitline feed holes therein for channeling oil to the splitline maniflod, and a number B.sub.
