Abstract
A spinning or twisting bearing assembly for supporting a spinning or twisting shaft is disclosed. The bearing assembly includes a spindle shaft neck bearing having roller bodies engageable with the spindle shaft at a first axial location above a step bearing assembly for supporting the bottom end of the spindle shaft. The neck bearing and step bearing assembly are disposed in a bearing housing. An outer housing is disposed to surround the bearing housing with an annular gap therebetween along a substantial length of the bearing housing. The outer housing is fixedly clamped to a spindle rail. In order to isolate sound causing vibrations from the roller bodies of the neck bearing, the bearing housing is clamped to the outer housing only at a position below the bearing housing. In use, vibrations from the roller bodies are then transmitted only indirectly to the spindle rail by way of the bearing housing, the connection of the bearing housing to the outer housing at the bottom of the bearing housing, and the out of the upper housing to the clamp bearing housing at the spindle rail.
