ABSTRACT:
A self adjusting bearing includes a load bearing having a cylindrical bore for carrying a rotating shaft. The load bearing is mounted for pivoting about an axis which is transverse to and intersects a longitudinal axis of the bore. The load bearing is supported by a pair of housings each of which carries a pivot bearing. A journal projecting radially from the load bearing engages the pivot bearing and an electrically insulating bushing is positioned between the housing and the pivot bearing to electrically isolate the main bearing from the housing. In an alternate embodiment, the insulating bushing is positioned between the load bearing journal and the pivot bushing so that the pivot bushing is also electrically isolated from the load bearing.
