20210010541 · 2021-01-14 ·

A bearing assembly can support a rotating shaft on a vehicle structure and can include a rolling element bearing that has an inner race configured to be press fit on the rotating shaft. An outer race can surround the inner race and be configured to be mounted on the vehicle structure. A plurality of rolling elements can be located between the inner race and the outer race. A retaining ring can be configured to be press fit on the rotating shaft and abut the inner race when the rolling element bearing and the retaining ring are press fit on the rotating shaft. The press fit between the retaining ring and the rotating shaft can contribute to the press fit between the inner race and the rotating shaft such that the retaining ring and the rolling element bearing together distribute a load input by the rotating shaft to the vehicle structure.
