Abstract:
1. An axial control assembly wherein a portion of said assembly is mounted in an operative configuration to a mechanical device with at least one mounting fastener, said assembly comprising: a roller bearing assembly and a bearing mount assembly, said bearing mount assembly comprising a first bearing mount member and a second bearing mount member, said first bearing mount member comprising at least one mounting tab having a mounting aperture disposed therethrough, said at least one mounting aperture facilitates mounting said first bearing mount member to a portion of the mechanical device with the at least one mounting fastener, said roller bearing assembly being secured in an operative configuration by said bearing mount assembly, said roller bearing assembly comprising an inner bearing casing and an outer bearing casing, wherein said outer bearing casing is disposed in an operative overlying relation to said inner bearing casing, a plurality of roller bearings rotatably mounted in said bearing assembly, said outer bearing casing comprising a transverse load surface and at least one axial load surface, said transverse load surface disposed to counteract a transverse load generated by the mechanical device, said bearing mount assembly comprising at least one axial control member, said at least one axial control member disposed in an abutting relation to said at least one axial load surface of said outer bearing casing while said bearing assembly is secured in said operative configuration by said bearing mount assembly, and said at least one axial control member positioned to counteract an axial load generated by the mechanical device and to limit axial movement of said outer bearing casing relative to said inner bearing casing.
