ABSTRACT:
A retainer for resiliently applying a preload force to a bearing assembly rotatably supporting a shaft has a bore through which the shaft extends and is assembled from a plurality of separable sections. Formed in the wall of the bore are circumferential grooves which define lands therebetween. Similarly, circumferential grooves are formed about the shaft adjacent the end of the bearing assembly. One series of grooves are oblique to the shaft axis so that the respective lands are deflectively engaged when the retainer is radially closed about the shaft. The retainer is advantageously employed to maintain preloads on tapered roller bearings supporting the final drive shafts in heavy earthmoving equipment.
