Abstract
A low axial runout driven pulley through the application of a spindle shaft utilizing multiple sets of bearings with radial clearance to the shaft. Utilizing a belt-driven pulley supporting overhanging loads with low axial runout provided by a spindle shaft with radial clearance to supporting bearings. Further axial clamp loading may be provided through multiple sets of bearings by the application of a fastener, such as a shaft bolt and a sleeve that press against the inner races of the bearings in the axial direction with this clamp load. The belt-driven pulley with low axial runout through the application of a spindle shaft utilizing at least two sets of bearings with radial clearance to the shaft may be utilized with heavy-duty trucking, marine, industrial, and other systems that utilize an overhung driven component.
