A roller bearing assembly arrangement comprising:
- i) a split bearing assembly comprising:
- a split inner race for attaching to a rotating shaft;
- a split cage and rolling element assembly positioned around the inner race;
- a split cartridge around the bearing assembly having an integrated outer race on an inner surface for the cage and rolling element assembly;
- and
- an outer surface with a convex profile;
- ii) a split seating ring having an inner surface with a concave profile, the split seating ring being fitted around the bearing assembly such that the convex profile of the outer surface of the split cartridge fits within the concave profile of the inner surface of the split seating ring, wherein the fit between the split cartridge and the split seating ring allows for the split cartridge to move relative to the split seating ring to compensate in use for shaft misalignment;
- and
- iii) a split housing having an inner surface fitted around the split seating ring, comprising a gap between an inner portion of the inner surface of the split seating ring and the outer surface of the split bearing assembly.
