Abstract
A bearing with integrated mounting features is provided with a groove in at least one of the races thereof. The groove is of a shallow depth and provides a mounting location for a mounting ring of slightly different diameter than the race so as to permit the mounting and maintenance of the mounting ring by compression or interference upon the bearing, particularly during shipping and assembly. Consequently, the bearing may be preassembled even when the use of metal mounting rings is contemplated to accommodate manufacturing tolerances and conditions wherein slippage of the races is likely to occur.
