ABSTRACT:
There is provided a self-aligning bearing assembly for a motor. The bearing assembly includes a housing member for securing to the motor, the housing member defining a bearing seat within a recess cavity larger than the bearing seat. A spherical bearing is seated in the seat, and a porous oil-retaining pad surrounds the bearing. A spring element with a central opening is in contact with the spherical bearing remote from the seat, and a closure member for the recess in the housing member is provided to enclose the pad, the spherical bearing, and the spring. The closure member and the housing member have a snap-fit together, the snap-fit being provided by outwardly projecting elongate ribs on one of the members, and elongate recesses on the other. The recesses are wider than the ribs, so that a certain degree of play between them is possible.
