ABSTRACT:
A thrust bearing assembly for positioning and maintaining both washers of a spherical roller thrust bearing in alignment with a rotatable shaft that is supported by the bearing. The assembly is characterized by including a reciprocally movable chair member for seating the housing washer of the spherical roller thrust bearing in a manner that prevents the washer from being unduly tilted relative to its axis of rotation when the chair member slides axially relative to the shaft. A back portion of the chair member is made to exceed the height of the housing washer by a predetermined amount such that the relationship of its height to the overall diameter of the chair member is a desired ratio relative to the radial clearance of the chair member with its supporting housing. This relationship of the components prevents the housing washer and chair member from tilting more than an established tolerance angle relative to the axis of rotation of the shaft.
