Abstract

A split roller bearing assembly includes a bearing body, an endless roller bearing chain mounted on the bearing body, and a plurality of rollers mounted on the chain. The bearing body has a load bearing surface and a return surface which define a path for continuous recirculating movement of the rollers thereabout. The roller bearing chain includes a plurality of pins arranged in a spaced, parallel relationship, and link members connecting the axial ends of adjacent pins together. Each roller is mounted on a corresponding pin of the chain, and is split to define at least two roller components rotatably mounted co-axially to each other on the same pin. Each roller component is rotatable independently of the other roller component of the same pin.
