ABSTRACT:
A self-aligning thrust bearing assembly comprising a thrust bearing unit in combination with a plate element adapted to be in direct pressure contact with thrust means, said bearing unit including a collar element disposed about its outer race. The said plate element may include a series of radially outwardly extending tab portions fitting within recess portions in said collar element whereby relative rotation between said plate element and said collar element disposed about said outer race is precluded; and a plurality of low friction elements affixed to said plate element which allows some degree of axial and/or lateral movement between said plate element and said outer race or said collar element and yet prevents direct contact between said plate element and said outer race or said collar element to facilitate self-aligning of the bearing elements. Alternatively, the said plate element may be formed without said tab portions and be free to rotate with respect to said collar element.
