ABSTRACT:
A bearing assembly (10) with a locking collar (27) provides a singular means for locking a bearing assembly onto a rotatable shaft (41). The bearing assembly (10) includes an outer bearing race member (18) and an inner bearing race member (12). The inner bearing member (12) has an inside diameter and an axial extension (25). A locking collar (27) is provided having a larger inside diameter (32) and a smaller inside diameter (34). A gap (23) is positioned circumferentially in the locking collar (27), the gap defining opposed separated planes (26, 28) cutting approximately radially through the locking collar. The locking collar (27) can be slidably fitted over the axial extension (25) with the smaller inside diameter (34) of the locking collar positioned at the farthest extent of the axial extension (25). A fastener (46) is provided for compressing the gap (23). In use, the locking collar (27) can be tightened about the axial extension (25) by the fastener (46).
