ABSTRACT:
A bearing clamping assembly for a gas turbine engine for preventing relative rotation between a first shaft and a shaft bearing assembly race in the event of bearing failure. The clamping assembly is comprised of an axially resilient member disposed near the bearing assembly which applies an axial force to the bearing race to maintain it in position relative to the shaft. The first shaft is secured to a second shaft by an axial clamp. The clamping of the two shafts compresses the resilient member which responds by applying the axial force on the bearing race to maintain the race in position in the event of bearing failure.
