Abstract
An anti-friction radial bearing has an inner track, an outer track, a pair of extension members, load-carrying rolling members, and double coaxial, cylindrical individual spacers. Each of the extension members has an internal cylindrical hoop surface and is securely mounted to at least one of the inner and outer tracks. The rolling members are equidistantly spaced and rotatably engageable with the inner and outer tracks. The spacers are disposed in pure rolling contact at their ends with the internal cylindrical hoop surfaces of the extension members. Each of the spacers is positioned in pure rolling contact between a corresponding adjacent pair of the rolling members.

An anti-friction radial bearing comprising:
- an inner track;
- an outer track;
- a pair of extension members securely mounted to at least one of the inner and outer tracks, each of the extension members having an internal cylindrical hoop surface;
- a plurality of equidistantly spaced, load-carrying rolling members rotatably engageable with the inner and outer tracks;
- and
- a plurality of double coaxial, cylindrical individual spacers disposed in pure rolling contact at their ends with the internal cylindrical hoop surfaces of the pair of extension members, each of the plurality of individual spacers being positioned in pure rolling contact between a corresponding adjacent pair of the plurality of rolling members.
