Abstract
A linear motion ball bearing assembly is provided for mounting within a housing and comprises a plurality of ball retainer members with a raceway therein. With the members surrounding a shaft, a load bearing plate is associated with the load bearing portion of each raceway and on the outer periphery of each raceway an elastomeric strip of material is mounted to resiliently restrain the movement of the ball bearing assembly in the spherical seat within the housing, and provide a high damping factor and exhibit high static stiffness.
