Proposed redundant bearing assembly consists of two modified ball or roller bearings, one held by other. Outer race of inner bearing press-fit into inner race of outer bearing. Within each bearing, side walls of inner and outer races extended radially toward each other leaving only small gap. In assembly, one bearing continues to allow free rotation when other fails. Bearing wear monitored by examination of gaps between races. In alternative design, inner race of outer bearing and outer race of inner bearing manufactured as single piece.
