BEARING ASSEMBLY AND METHOD FOR ASSEMBLING AND MOUNTING SAID BEARING ASSEMBLY WITH A COMPONENT SUPPORTING SAID BEARING ASSEMBLY

摘要

A bearing assembly includes at least one ring arranged between first and second components, and the second component is mounted for rotation relatively to the first component. The bearing assembly includes at least one layer of expandable material disposed radially between a first ring of the at least one ring and one of the first and second components. The at least one layer of expandable material has been irreversibly expanded by heating it to a temperature above a first temperature threshold.
