Abstract
A bearing includes a fixed ring (16) and a rotating ring (14) for supporting an end of a rotatable element. An axis of the rotating ring is laterally displaced from an axis of the fixed ring. An eccentric ring (12) separates the rotating ring from the fixed ring. The eccentric ring is rotatable relative to the fixed ring and is separated from the fixed ring by an angular contact ball bearing (ACBB) (11). The eccentric ring is separated from the rotating ring by a second bearing (13), the eccentric ring being substantially coaxial with either the fixed ring or the rotating ring.
