ABSTRACT:
An outer ring is formed with counterbores at the ends thereof, disposed along a common axis and separated by a radially inwardly extending keel portion. A polymer liner is inserted into each end of the outer ring into abutment with the keel portion, the polymer liners being preformed with spherically concave inner surfaces conforming to a ball part entrapped therebetween. A portion of the outer ring is then deformed by upset forming over a portion of the polymer liners to lock the polymer liners in position. An electrical sensor for indicating failure of the polymer liners is also disclosed.
