  • Spring life improvement
    Patent number: 5719454
    Abstract: A backing ring has a reduced diameter portion surrounded by a spring which engages the backing ring and a stop to normally keep the stop and backing ring separated by a small distance while maintaining a desired bias on the bearing system which is engaged by the backing ring. Movement of the bearing is limited by the small distance which also limits flexure and therefore improves the fatigue life of the spring.
