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 1):
A cam follower assembly comprising:\n a ball bearing comprising:\n an outer ring having an interior area, the interior area being defined by an inner surface extending between a first axial end and a second axial end of the outer ring, the inner surface having a first radially inward facing bearing surface and a second radially inward facing bearing surface and a radially outward extending and inwardly facing first recessed surface therebetween; \n an inner assembly extending into the interior area, the inner assembly comprising a first inner segment extending from a third axial end to a fourth axial end thereof and a second inner segment extending from a fifth axial end to a sixth axial end thereof, the first inner segment having a first radially outward facing bearing surface and the second inner segment having a second radially outward facing bearing surface, the fourth axial end and the fifth axial end being abutted against each other and a radially inward extending and radially outward facing second recessed surface between the first radially outward facing bearing surface and the second radially outward facing bearing surface; and \n a plurality of balls positioned in the interior area between the outer ring and the inner assembly and in rolling engagement with the first radially inward facing bearing surface and the second radially inward facing bearing surface and the first radially outward facing bearing surface and the second radially outward facing bearing surface, the plurality of balls rollingly engaging each other and being spaced apart from the first recessed surface and the second recessed surface; \n a shaft having a bearing receiving portion and a mounting portion extending from the bearing receiving portion; and the ball bearing being disposed on the bearing receiving portion such that the inner assembly is secured to the shaft.
