Abstract:
A bearing includes a plurality of rolling elements (26) spaced around a three-hundred and sixty degree circumferential extent of the bearing. An odd, non-singular number of high-points are positioned as near to evenly as possible about the circumferential extent of the bearing, the high-points defined by locations at which rolling elements with the largest diameters are positioned. An odd, non-singular number of low-points are positioned as near to evenly as possible about the circumferential extent of the bearing, the low-points defined by locations at which rolling elements having the smallest diameters are positioned. The odd, non-singular number of high-points is the same as the odd, non-singular number of low-points, and each low-point is positioned as near to evenly as possible between two adjacent high-points.
