Bearings

An assembly comprising:

• a first component;
• a second component coaxial with respect to the first component;
• and
• a bearing comprising:
• a generally cylindrical sidewall,
• a feature projecting radially outward from the sidewall, the feature having a first axial end and a second axial end, and
• a flange disposed at an axial end of the generally cylindrical sidewall, wherein the flange is closer to the second axial end of the feature than the first axial end of the feature, and wherein an outermost surface of the flange is spaced apart from the first axial end of the feature by a distance, D, as measured in a direction parallel with a central axis of the bearing,
• wherein the first component is disposed adjacent to the first axial end of the feature, wherein the second component is disposed adjacent to the outermost surface of the flange, and wherein the second component is spaced apart from the first component by the distance, D.

An assembly comprising:

• a first component comprising an aperture;
• a second component coaxial with respect to the first component;
• and
• a bearing disposed axially between the first and second components and at least partially within the aperture of the first component,
• wherein the first and second components are spaced apart from one another by a distance, D, and wherein the bearing is visible from a side elevation view along the entire distance, D.
