ABSTRACT:
A relatively stiff spring cooperating with an oil film resists inertial, gearing, and chucking loads and reduces the inertial forces generated by the operation of a rotatable shaft. The rotatable shaft is mounted directly in conventional ball bearings that in turn are mounted in engagement with the inner of two concentrically mounted cylindrical members, wherein the concentrically mounted members have facing walls radially displaced to form an annular cavity therebetween. The outer of the two cylindrical members is in engagement with and supported to the housing. Interconnecting the two cylindrical members is a flange spring that also serves as an end wall for a reservoir in communication with the annular cavity. The reservoir and the annular cavity are filled with a dampening fluid, such as a lubricating oil, to serve as a cushion for axially and radially directed force transfers between the two concentrically mounted members.
