ABSTRACT:
A bearing mounting with self-compensation for thermal expansion. A rotor is mounted in a housing by way of a first bearing having an outer race mounted in the housing and an inner race mounted on the rotor. The inner and outer races are relatively axially movable. A second bearing is mounted on an end of the rotor. A resilient member maintains the inner race in engagement with the outer race in response to relative axial movement between the inner and outer races due to varying thermal expansion rates between the housing and the rotor.
