Abstract
A bearing housing includes a mounting for securing a bearing housing to a support surface and a bore adapted for receiving a bearing. An intermediate ring having a mechanical interlock and configured to mount over the bearing housing is positioned adjacent the bearing housing bore. An adhesive connection between the bearing housing and the intermediate ring connects the intermediate ring to the bearing housing. A bearing cover is positioned over the housing bore and engages the intermediate ring such that the mechanical interlock retains the bearing cover.
