Abstract
A bearing system which inhibits fretting to extend the life of a bearing. The system is usable in a machine, such as an electric motor, and includes an elastomeric spring positioned between the bearing and a bottom surface of a bore in which the bearing is received. The spring member applies force to the bearing in both an axial direction and a circumferential direction to oppose rotation of the bearing in the bore. The spring member has an annular shape with a plurality of circumferentially spaced teeth.
