  • Patent number: 3930692
    Abstract: An annular shoulder on the radial bearing is contacted by the thrust bearing raceway radially inwardly from the inside periphery of the thrust bearing cage. Either the thrust race or the annular shoulder on the radial bearing, or both, may have an integral axial extension with the thrust race and the radial bearing interlocking radially inwardly from the inner periphery of the thrust bearing cage.The bearing is pressed in to the bore of the housing by pushing against the thrust race with the force against the thrust race being transmitted by way of the annular shoulder to the radial raceway. Thus, it is not necessary to push the bearing into the housing bore by pressing against the thrust rollers which often results in critical damage to the thrust race.
