A swash plate bearing comprising:
- an arcuate cage member having at least one flange and a plurality of rolling elements rotatably coupled to the at least one flange, wherein a coupling seat extends laterally from the at least one flange, the coupling seat having an insertion hole;
- a link member rotatably coupled to the cage member, the link member having a central portion positioned between a first terminal portion and a second terminal portion, wherein a first stem connects the central portion to the first terminal portion and a second stem connects the central portion to the second terminal portion, and wherein the central portion is positioned in the insertion hole;
- and
- a pair of teeth axially extending from a rim of the coupling seat, wherein the teeth are mutually diametrically opposed on the rim and offset from the at least one flange.
A swash plate bearing comprising:
- an arcuate cage member having at least one flange and a plurality of rolling elements rotatably coupled to the at least one flange, wherein a coupling seat extends laterally from the at least one flange, the coupling seat having an insertion hole;
- and
- a link member rotatably coupled to the cage member, the link member having a central portion positioned between a first terminal portion and a second terminal portion, wherein a first stem connects the central portion to the first terminal portion and a second stem connects the central portion to the second terminal portion, wherein the central portion is positioned in the insertion hole, wherein the central portion is configured as a cylinder having a first cylinder end and a second cylinder end, and wherein the first and second stems are spaced away from the first cylinder end.
