Abstract
An antifriction roller bearing having a bearing assembly comprising an outer race, an inner race, and rolling bearings interposed between said races, in which assembly the rolling bearings each comprise a roller having its ends in thrust load transmitting engagement with the outer race, which rollers are also in thrust and load transmitting relation to the inner race intermediate the ends of said rollers by way of right grooves and flanges formed in both the rollers and inner race, which are in substantially complemental interfitting relation. The area of engagement of said rollers with said inner race at least equals the area of engagement of said rollers with the outer race. The rollers have their thrust transmitting surfaces that engage corresponding surfaces of the outer race, and their thrust transmitting surfaces that engage corresponding surfaces of the inner race, angled with respect to the longitudinal axes of the respective rollers. Canting of the rollers is avoided by making the angulation of the roller surfaces that engage the outer race greater than the angulation of the roller surfaces engaging the inner race.
