Abstract:
A bearing is provided which includes a first set of rolling elements, a second set of rolling elements spaced away from the first set of rollers, a race at least partially enclosing the first and second sets of rolling elements, and a pre-loading element in the race between two outer sections of the race applying pre-load forces to the first and second set of rolling elements. In this way, a simplified bearing structure is achieved while better maintaining pre-load forces.
