ABSTRACT:
Flanged bearings are described which are amenable to reliable installation by robotics and which do not require such fine engineering manufacturing tolerances on the flanges as has hitherto been the case. A flanged bearing comprises a journal bearing element and at least one thrust bearing element constituting a flange and wherein the thrust bearing element is attached to the journal bearing element by flexible attachment means. Flanged bearings are described wherein flexible attachment portions are formed from the steel backing material of a thrust bearing, slots are also provided to enhance flexibility. The thrust bearing is attached to a journal half bearing by, for example, electron beam welds.
