Abstract
A self adjusting support for anti-friction bearings wherein one half of the circumference of the outer race of the bearing is accurately positioned by a semi-cylindrical recess formed in a bearing support half having a diameter equal to that of the bearing outer race, and the other half of the bearing support comprises a retainer having a semi-cylindrical configuration recess of a larger diameter than the outer race and a deformable wall wherein upon using tension members to draw the bearing support half and retainer toward each other the retainer wall will deform and cause the recess to conform to the diameter of the bearing outer race to accurately maintain the anti-friction bearing within the bearing support permitting the bearing to be firmly held in position without auxiliary cages, bushings or split rings even though significant tolerances may exist between the bearing support and bearing outer race.
