ABSTRACT:
A bearing assembly including anti-friction bearings and bearing mounts between rotatable structures of low coefficient of expansion material, by which the expansion and contraction of the metallic bearings, due to temperature swings, is allowed without radial constraint or without a loosening of the bearings from the structures while maintaining the bearings and the structures in alignment. This is accomplished by providing a loose connection and a plurality of tangentially oriented linkages connected between the structures and the bearings. The loose connection allows the bearings to expand or contract in a radial direction independently of the structures and the links allow radial displacement without a translation circumferentially of the assembly with respect to the structures.
