ABSTRACT:
A thrust bearing is provided with resilient mounting tangs in the form of one or more axially and radially projecting leaf springs. Each leaf spring is shaped with a wedge-like camming surface which facilitates the insertion and centering of each tang within a mounting recess formed in a bearing housing. As the tang is wedged and cammed within its mounting recess, the leaf spring is resiliently deflected and compressed therein to securely anchor the bearing in place.
