Abstract
A roller-contact bearing device with a reduced clearance for a power-assisted steering system having a first roller-contact bearing for absorbing axial forces exerted on a steering shaft and a second roller-contact bearing for transmitting the axial forces to a casing. The second roller-contact bearing is urged toward shaft by an spring disc to oppose the axial forces being applied to the shaft.
