ABSTRACT:
A thrust bearing is disclosed for enabling relative rotation between coaxial first and second members. The thrust bearing includes a pressure transmitting washer for transmitting axial thrust pressure between the members, the washer being disposed coaxially relative to the members. The washer defines a first central aperture through which the first member extends, the washer being disposed adjacent to the second member. A flexible spring for transmitting axial thrust pressure between the first member and the washer is of annular configuration. The spring is disposed coaxially relative to the first member and adjacent to the washer. The spring defines a central aperture through which the first member extends. A bearing for transmitting axial thrust pressure between the first member and the spring and for enabling relative rotation between the first member and the spring is disposed coaxially relative to the members. The bearing is disposed adjacent to the spring and defines a third aperture through which the first member extends such that the spring is disposed between the bearing and the washer. A retaining device is adjustably secured to the first member for retaining the washer, the spring and the bearing axially between the members. The retaining device cooperates with the first member and is disposed adjacent to the bearing.
