ABSTRACT:
A split outer ring has a raceway on a radially inwardly directed surface and a circumferential groove with tapered side walls on a radially outwardly directed surface and comprises a first arcuate portion and a second arcuate portion. An alignment ring engages the circumferential-groove of the split outer ring, forming an interference fit with the tapered side walls of the circumferential groove such that alignment of the first arcuate portion with respect to the second arcuate portion is maintained. A method of assembling a housed bearing, utilizing opposing jaws engaging a similar circumferential groove in the split outer ring, is also disclosed.
