Abstract: A bearing coupler assembly that has a bearing housing sized to at least partially receive a bearing assembly, the bearing housing defining a bearing axis therethrough, a shaft positioned at least partially through the bearing housing along the bearing axis, the shaft defining a shaft lip and a fastener end, the bearing assembly coupling the shaft to the bearing housing so the shaft can rotate about the bearing axis relative to the bearing housing, a fastener configured to be coupled to the fastener end of the shaft, a tone wheel positioned axially along the bearing axis between the fastener and the bearing assembly, the tone wheel having at least one indicator, a sensor coupled to the bearing housing and configured to identify when the indicator passes thereby.

Abstract: A lift apparatus is provided for use with a vehicle comprising a first frame and a second frame. The lift apparatus comprises a spindle, a bearing, a cylinder, a snap ring, and a bearing retainer. The spindle is configured to be attached to the second frame so as to extend therefrom in spaced apart relation to the first frame. The bearing is positioned on the spindle. The cylinder is configured to be attached to the first frame and is attached to the second frame to move the first frame relative to the second frame. The cylinder is positioned on the bearing such that the bearing enables movement between the spindle and the cylinder. The snap ring is attached to the spindle. The bearing retainer is positioned on the spindle between the snap ring, and the bearing retains the bearing on the spindle.
