ABSTRACT:
The cross includes four angularly spaced and outwardly projecting bearing assemblies each comprising a trunnion, an annular row of elongated rollers, and a bearing cup having a cavity which receives the rollers. The rollers of each bearing assembly are convexly crowned along their lengths so that forces transferred between the bearing cup and the trunnion are transmitted through each roller at a pressure area along the midportion thereof, the pressure area spreading or expanding as the forces increase. In a modified embodiment, the trunnion of each bearing assembly is convexly crowned.
