IMPACT RESISTANT HIGH SPEED BEARING

摘要

A bearing arrangement including a first bearing assembly and a shaft supported by the first bearing assembly in a first operating mode is provided. The bearing arrangement includes a second bearing assembly including a second bearing radially inner ring defining a radially inner raceway, a second bearing radially outer ring defining a radially outer raceway, and a second bearing plurality of rolling elements supported to run on the radially inner raceway and the radially outer raceway. The second plurality of rolling elements are formed from a nickel titanium alloy, and a radially inner surface of the second bearing radially inner ring supports the shaft in a second operating mode.
