A rotating shaft 5 has portion 5a to which are secured the inner cages 6 of the shaft bearings. Two helically-coiled springs 1 have portions 1a connected to the bearing cages 3, for example by a ring 2, and the inner ends 9 of the springs are connected to a support structure 8 surrounding the shaft, the springs providing radial movement between the shaft and support structure. Labyrinth seals 17 secured to the shaft co-operate with sealing supports 19, 20 secured to the springs and seals 22 allow radial movement of the sealing supports relatively to the structure 8. A wick 11 feeds oil from a reservoir 10 to the bearings and slingers 15 carried by the shaft return the oil through passages 16 to the reservoir. |
