An auxiliary bearing including a support structure extending at least partially around a circumference of a shaft. A first pedestal may extend in a radially-inward direction from the support structure. First and second beams may extend from opposite sides of the first pedestal in a plane perpendicular to an axis of the shaft. First and second rollers may be operatively coupled to the first and second beams, and the first and second rollers may be configured to engage the shaft.
