  • Angularly biassed self-aligning bearing
    Patent number: 5326178
    Abstract: An angularly biassed self-aligning bearing has a bearing member which is seated in a housing and held in place by a retainer which urges a first external, part-spherical, surface-of-revolution on the bearing member axially into engagement with an internal, part-spherical, surface-of-revolution formed in the housing. The retainer has first and second resilient retaining members which engage opposite sides of a transversely extending first portion of a second external surface-of-revolution on the bearing member. The first resilient retaining members exert greater loading on the bearing member than the second resilient retaining members so that the bearing member is tilted relative to the housing.
