ABSTRACT:
A bearing apparatus includes a race, the race being tubular and having first and second axial ends. One of the axial ends having a restrainer. A separator having first and second annular rims is interconnected by separator bars being annularly spaced apart. A plurality of rolling elements are retained by the separator bars and rims. A flexure member permits the separator to be radially flexed in a first radial direction for axial displacement with respect to the race and to be radially flexed in a second radial direction, opposite said first radial direction, for being restrained with respect to the race. The race may be an inner race or an outer race. A second race interrelates with the separator to lock the separator in the second radial direction. The restrainer is preferably an annular groove formed in the race.
