摘要:
Disclosed is a component providing rotational, translational and angular movement to a shaft inserted therein. The component has a housing with a bearing aperture, the bearing aperture having an aperture axis, an inner concave surface and a placement ring surface. A combination joint including a hollow bearing and a placement ring are located at least partially within the bearing aperture. The hollow bearing has an outer convex surface adjacent to and at least partially in contact with the inner concave surface of the bearing aperture. The hollow bearing also has an aperture with a cylindrical inner surface. The placement ring has an outer surface adjacent to and at least partially in contact with the placement ring surface of the bearing aperture and has an inner concave bearing race surface adjacent to and at least partially in contact with the outer convex surface of the hollow bearing aperture. A sleeve with a sleeve axis can be located within the aperture of the hollow bearing and has an outer surface adjacent to and at least partially in contact with the cylindrical inner surface of the hollow bearing. The sleeve is slidable within the hollow bearing and the hollow bearing with the sleeve therein can rotate about the sleeve axis and tilt about the bearing aperture axis. In this manner, a component is provided that affords rotational, translational and angular movement to a shaft inserted therein. A seal can be included to protect the combination joint from dust, dirt, debris and the like.
