Abstract

See full text

A ball bearing (1) has an inner race (2) and an outer race (3). In order to prevent the rotating parts from being damaged when the bearing assembly fails, the bearing has emergency bearing surfaces (14, 15) which are concentric to the rotational axis (6) and of which one is a part of the rotating bearing race and the other is a part of the fixed bearing race. During normal operation, the emergency bearing surfaces (14, 15) are situated opposite one another with a relatively narrow gap (24) therebetween. But, in the event of failure, the surfaces (14, 15) engage and function as emergency bearing surfaces.
