Abstract
A recirculating bearing assembly and method of making it in which the bearing assembly includes a bearing path-defining structure having two primary pieces, the first being an elongated "I" shaped member having an internal aperture extending through the elongated length and having integral end bearing returns formed as concave, inwardly facing rounded portions in each of the cross pieces terminating the elongated length and the second piece including flat upper and lower surfaces and fit within the aperture and having generally parallel upper and lower surfaces connected by rounded end portions. The second member defines the internal surface of each of two races for roller bearing elements.
