Abstract:
A cam follower assembly includes a ball bearing having an outer ring and an inner assembly which includes two or more segments. The inner assembly is disposed in the outer ring with a full complement of balls disposed therebetween. The outer ring and inner assembly each include a race having a gothic arch cross sectional configuration that causes the balls to roll on two portions of each race.

Claim (Index 10):
The cam follower assembly of  claim 1 , wherein each of the plurality of balls has a radius extending from a center of the ball, the centers of the plurality of balls tracing a reference circle around the inner assembly, the centers of the balls being aligned along a common radially extending reference plane;\n the first radially inward facing bearing surface having a first radius of curvature extending from a first origin located radially inward from the reference circle and axially offset from the reference plane towards the second inner segment, the second radially inward facing bearing surface having a second radius of curvature extending from a second origin located radially inward from the reference circle and axially offset from the reference plane towards the first inner segment, such that the first recessed surface, the first radially inward facing bearing surface and the second radially inward facing bearing surface form a first gothic arch cross sectional configuration; the first radially outward facing bearing surface having a third radius of curvature extending from a third origin located radially outward from the reference circle and axially offset from the reference plane towards the second inner segment, the second radially outward facing bearing surface having a fourth radius of curvature extending from a fourth origin located radially outward from the reference circle and axially offset from the reference plane towards the first inner segment, such that the second recessed surface, the first radially outward facing bearing surface and the second radially outward facing bearing surface form a second gothic arch cross section configuration; and wherein the first gothic arch and the second gothic arch are configured to accommodate external loads applied to the ball bearing due to misalignment.
