Abstract
A componentfor a bearing, the componentcomprising a bearing surfacewherein the bearing surfaceis formed so as to be tapered at rest, thereby offsetting deformation of the bearing during an operational condition which generates an induced angle in the bearing surfaceor an opposing surface of the bearing. A method of manufacturing a bearing is also provided. The method comprises: determining an induced angle of a componentof the bearing caused by deformation of the bearing during an operational condition: and providing a surfaceof the componentor an opposing component with a taper at rest so as to offset the induced angle generated during the operational condition.
