ABSTRACT:
A cartridge bearing assembly includes a non-resilient tubular bearing element and a spring for causing the tubular bearing element to float with a shaft therethrough within a surrounding housing. Because loading between the bearing element and the shaft is eliminated, very close tolerances can be held therebetween and wear between the bearing and the shaft therethrough is substantially reduced. Seals may be incorporated into the bearing member in applications where a pressure drop is desired across the bearing shaft interface.
