Abstract
A shaft is supported to slide in a linear bearing which, in turn, is supported within a bore in a pillow block housing. To enable the bearing to self-align with a bearing in a paired pillow block housing, the bore of the housing is longitudinally crowned and permits the bearing to rock universally within a limited range while still maintaining rigidity and precise centerline accuracy.
