Abstract

A redundant-race bearing system incorporates a pair of ring-shaped race members. The race members are coaxial and axially spaced apart from one another. Each race member has a radial cross-section that includes a plurality of tracks. These tracks form a confining pattern that enables lateral and axial restraint.
