ABSTRACT:
A bearing system including a pair of axially spaced bearing sleeves supporting a shaft extending through the sleeves with the bearing sleeves located and retained in the bore of a bearing holder. Each bearing sleeve contains a flat extending across its periphery and a Woodruff key is seated in an undercut slot formed in the bore of the holder. The Woodruff key contains a flat top engaging the flat on the periphery of the bearing sleeve to lock the bearing sleeve against rotating in the bore in the holder and the side of the Woodruff key prevents the bearing sleeve from moving axially toward the Woodruff key.
