ABSTRACT:
A bearing assembly with thermal compensation including a rotor rotatably mounted to a stator by way of a bearing mechanism. The stator and rotor are manufactured from materials having coefficients of thermal expansion substantially different than the coefficient of thermal expansion of the material from which the bearing mechanism is manufactured. The bearing mechanism is defined by a first race, a second race and a plurality of bearing elements. Thermal compensation connectors couple the first and second races to the stator and rotor, respectively. The thermal compensation connectors permit radial expansion and contraction of the stator and rotor relative to the bearing mechanism and prevent rotational displacement of the stator and rotor relative to the first and second races of the bearing mechanism.
