Abstract

A bearing assembly includes a sleeve bearing (10) and a pair of O-ring components (14, 16) annularly disposed about the bearing. The O- rings are provided with a set of paired mating latchable features (30, 60) having complementary constructions, such as a male-female tandem, that allows the O-rings to be automatically fastened together in a self-latching or self-locking mechanism as the latchable features are mated, engaged, or interfit together. As fastened, the O-rings encase and retain the bearing in place. The O-rings are provided with aligned vents slots (74) that permit fluid flow therethrough. The bearing outer diameter surface has a set of recessed axial grooves (24) that are covered in part by the O-rings annularly disposed thereabout. The axial grooves likewise permit fluid flow therethrough from one end of the bearing assembly to the other.
