ABSTRACT:
A sealed, oil-filled journal is provided which includes two axially-spaced ball race areas in the preferred embodiment, and which incorporates an axially expanding pressure ring disposed between an internal annular rib and the angular contact ballbearing ring in one of the ball race chambers. The pressure ring maintains generally constant force against all of the bearings in the spaced ball race chambers so that the combination of the immersion in oil of all the bearings in the journal, and the maintenance of the constant pressure on the bearing elements to prevent their getting loose, minimizes brinelling and produces a jounral that has a very long life span.
