Abstract
A bearing assembly includes an improved clamping arrangement for securement to a shaft. The inner ring of the bearing assembly includes a tapered inner surface generally complementary to a tapered outer surface of a tapered adapter. Each of the tapered adapter and the inner ring member include an axial extension portion which are situated to be proximate one another during use. A nut is provided interconnecting the extension portions such that relative axial movement may be effected between the inner ring member and the tapered adapter. As a result, the bearing assembly may be secured to or removed from the shaft.
