Abstract
A motor shaft bearing assembly restricts the pivoting or swiveling movement of a self-aligning bearing supporting a motor shaft in a bearing seat. The bearing assembly provides projections adjacent the bearing seat that engage with an exterior surface of the bearing to restrict the movement of the bearing relative to the bearing seat. As an alternative or in addition to the projection adjacent to the bearing seat, a bearing retainer holding the bearing against the bearing seat is provided with a projection that engages into the exterior surface of the bearing to restrict the movement of the bearing relative to the bearing seat.
