is supported by a first and second bearings the second bearing being spaced from the first bearing the first bearing and said second bearing are supported by a corresponding first bore and second bore in a shaft housing a first axis being coincident with an axis of the first bore and a second axis being coincident with an axis of the second bore the first axis and the second axis are purposefully offset from one another a sufficient distance to substantially eliminate internal clearance within the first bearing application_number US 30544502 A description fig1 schematically represents a bearing positioned in an offset bore the offset is exaggerated for clarity a shaft 12 is supported within bore 16 by a bearing set 17 bore 16 is offset from axis 40 which is common with an opposite bearing not shown thus bore 16 is offset from axis 40 by a distance 26 which causes an angular displacement 42 between outer race 22 and inner bearing race 24 of theta u03b8 radians which is the same as the angular displacement between bore 16 and shaft 12 bearing set 17 has no clearance and therefore will not admit noise into the system furthermore it handles axial loads well when shaft 12 encounters alternating axial loads 30 the bearing responds with a reaction force opposite the axial load when axial load 30 is exerted to the right as seen in fig1 a reaction force 31 is exerted through ball bearing 32 likewise when the axial load 30 is exerted to the left as seen in fig1 a reaction force 33 is applied to the right through ball bearing 34 setting bore offset distance 26 too high will cause excessive friction in the bearings which may cause.
