ABSTRACT:
A self clinching rolling bearing assembly comprises a generally cylindrical retainer configured to be press fit and self clinching in an opening formed in a sheet of metal. A rolling bearing, such as a needle bearing, is mounted into the retainer for rotatably receiving a shaft when the retainer is mounted in the opening. In one embodiment, the rolling bearing is press fit directly into the retainer and is rigidly secured by an interference fit. In another embodiment, the rolling bearing is press fit into a bearing sleeve and the bearing sleeve is mounted in the retainer for limited rocking movement relative to the longitudinal axis of the retainer. With the later embodiment, the rolling bearing is self aligning with a shaft rotatably inserted therethrough.
