Zusammenfassung:Bearing assemblies and methods of manufacturing bearing assemblies are provided in the present disclosure. In one embodiment, a bearing assembly includes a base member and at least one bearing element coupled to the base member. The bearing element may be coupled with the base member by at least two different coupling techniques, including two of: a mechanical fastener, a clamped structure, a geometrical fit, welding, and brazing. In one embodiment, a first technique may include use of a mechanical fastener and a second technique may include welding or brazing. In another embodiment, a first technique may include use of a clamping mechanism or structure and a second technique may include welding or brazing. In another embodiment, a first technique may include use of a geometrical fit and a second technique may include welding or brazing.
