ABSTRACT:
A mounting flange for housing a bearing cup of a roller bearing is disclosed. The mounting flange includes a recess sized to receive the bearing cup. A radial wall is defined by the recess and an outer periphery of the mounting flange. The radial wall includes at least one region of greater radial thickness than the radial thickness at another region. The at least one region of radial thickness defines at least one ear. The mounting flange also includes at least one flexibility pocket in the at least one ear. The flexibility pocket is configured to provide substantially uniform, radial deformation to the mounting flange when the bearing cup is fit into the recess.
