Roller sequencing for improved bearing runout

A bearing comprising:

• a plurality of rolling elements spaced around a three-hundred and sixty degree circumferential extent of the bearing;
• (A) an odd, non-singular number of high-points positioned as near to evenly as possible about the circumferential extent of the bearing, the high-points defined by locations at which rolling elements with the largest diameters are positioned;
• an odd, non-singular number of low-points positioned as near to evenly as possible about the circumferential extent of the bearing, the low-points defined by locations at which rolling elements having the smallest diameters are positioned;
• wherein the odd, non-singular number of high-points is the same as the odd, non-singular number of low-points;
• or
• (B) an even number of high-points greater than two positioned as near to evenly as possible about the circumferential extent of the bearing, the high-points defined by locations at which rolling elements with the largest diameters are positioned;
• an even number of low-points greater than two positioned as near to evenly as possible about the circumferential extent of the bearing, the low-points defined by locations at which rolling elements having the smallest diameters are positioned;
• wherein the even number of high-points is the same as the even number of low-points;
• wherein each low-point is positioned as near to evenly as possible between two adjacent high-points;
• wherein rolling elements of the plurality of rolling elements positioned between a high-point and a low-point decrease in diameter in a direction from the high-point to the low-point;
• and
• wherein the bearing is a multi-row bearing assembly having a cage that aligns the high-points and low-points of one row of rolling elements with the high-points and low-points in an adjacent row of rolling elements, the cage being configured such that alignment includes a circumferential offset between rotational axes of the rolling elements in the one row and rotational axes of the rolling elements in the adjacent row.
