Thus, if a shock or other disturbance to the system occurs that tilts the
bearing assembly, the resulting motion is both a tilting, and a motion
which is axial. If a shock axially moves the hub assembly, only an axial
motion occurs. Thus the system has a non-linear behavior. Pursuant to
this invention, when a tilting disturbance occurs, and some of it is
dissipated in a net axial movement at a different frequency, energy is
subtracted out of the system with motion that is not linearly related to
the disturbance was that created it.
