Abstract
A bearing assembly comprises an outer ring and an inner ring radially inward of the outer ring and cooperating therewith to form a roller volume. The inner ring has opposed faces including slots extending axially and circumferentially spaced. The slots extend axially to openings into the opposed axial faces and communicate with partial circumferential slots in the inner circumferential surface and in fluid communication with the roller volume through passages in the inner ring. A first plurality of the axial slots has a radial depth increasing from a first of the axial faces to the respective partial circumferential slot. A second plurality of the axial slots has a radial depth increasing from the second of the axial faces to the respective partial circumferential slot. Bearing elements are in the roller volume rollingly disposed against the outer ring and the inner ring.
