Abstract
A resilient suspension mount for the ends of a lead screw drive shaft, including a bearing housing and a cover plate secured to a shaft support member by a plurality of fasteners. The end of the lead screw is disposed within a bearing. The bearing is flexibly supported within the bearing housing to permit radial displacements of the shaft and its bearing under load, during drive operation. Provision is also made to permit longitudinal movement of the shaft and accompanying lateral movement of the bearing and its housing, to accommodate thermal expansion of the shaft.
