Abstract
A bearing that can be reoriented to move its center is disclosed. The center of the bearing is offset from the center of its outer housing. Should the shaft extending through the bearing need to be raised or lowered the outer housing is simply rotated in its receptacle and its position is fixed. Reconfiguring the bearing receptacle or using shims is eliminated and the alignment process is rendered shorter and more reliable future operation is obtained.
