ABSTRACT:
The present invention is a transversely restrained, longitudinally flexible mount for use in mounting a bearing for a spindle in a spindle housing. The transversely restrained, longitudinally flexible mount includes an inner ring which is mechanically coupled to the bearing and an outer ring which is disposed concentrically to the inner ring and which is mechanically coupled to the spindle housing. The transverse restrained, longitudinally flexible mount also includes a frame member having an inner cylindrical band mechanically coupled to the inner ring, an outer cylindrical band mechanically coupled to the outer ring and a plurality of hollow cylindrical spokes extending radially from the axis of the frame member for providing lateral rigidity between the inner and outer cylindrical bands so that the inner and outer cylindrical bands are concentric with each other and the axis of the spindle. The frame member also has a first flexible coupling member and a second flexible coupling member both of which longitudinally flexibly couple the inner cylindrical band to the outer cylindrical band whereby the inner ring is able to bi-directionally move longitudinally along the axis of the spindle. The frame member of the transversely restrained, longitudinally flexible mount is an integral member which is formed by a two step process. The first step is plating with a plating material a platen which is in the shape of the frame member. The second step is dissolving the platen in a selected solution whereby the plating material forms the frame member.
