Abstract
A rolling element bearing retention arrangement provides axial and rotational retention of a rolling element bearing within a housing. A retaining ring is received partially within circumferential grooves located on an outer ring of the rolling element bearing, and within a bore of the housing, providing axial retention. Inward and outward directed protrusions on each end of the retaining ring engage cavities within the respective circumferential grooves, providing rotational retention.
