Claim 0:
1. A bearing assembly, comprising:
a first bearing assembly comprising:
a first support ring; and
one or more first bearing elements coupled to the first support ring, the one or more first bearing elements having bearing surfaces each exhibiting a partially spheroid convex shape; and

a second bearing assembly comprising:
a second support ring; and
second bearing elements having bearing surfaces and each being coupled to the second support ring, the bearing surfaces of the second bearing elements each exhibiting a planar shape, the second bearing elements positioned at an oblique angle relative to an intended axis of rotation of a portion of the bearing assembly, wherein the second bearing elements are positioned substantially symmetrically about a partially conical surface substantially centered about the intended axis of rotation, wherein the bearing surfaces of the second bearing elements are configured to engage with the bearing surfaces of the one or more first bearing elements, wherein engagement of the bearing surfaces of the one or more first bearing elements with the bearing surfaces of the second bearing elements is configured to primarily support a load applied between the first bearing assembly and the second bearing assembly.
