Abstract
A feed screw housing support includes a support pedestal (46), a spring loaded tie rod assembly (76), and a bearing assembly including pedestal bearing blocks (62) cooperating with mating bearing blocks (66) connected directly or indirectly to the housing. The tie rod assembly provides a resilient hold down force between the housing (32) and the pedestal (46). The interfacing surfaces (74) of the blocks are angled in such a manner that, when viewed from the ends, a line extending from each planar interface of the blocks passes directly through the axis (54) of the feed screw rotor (28).
