ABSTRACT:
A bearing assembly adapted to be secured to an elongated shaft. An inner race of the bearing assembly includes a clamping portion having a plurality of circumferentially spaced axial slots to form respective clamping fingers. A clamping collar mounts about the clamping fingers and is tightened to force the clamping fingers into clamping engagement with the shaft. The clamping collar has therein at least one relief indentation to provide enhanced flexibility. The enhanced flexibility allows a greater clamping force to be applied to the clamping fingers, and thus to the shaft.
