Bearing with fluid flow bypass

摘要

A bearing assembly (104) comprises an inner ring (134) and an outer ring (110) assembly having an upstream face (106) and a downstream face (108). The outer ring (110) assembly comprises an outer ring (110) rotatably coupled to the inner ring (134), and a plurality of rolling elements (112) that resides between the inner ring (134) and the outer ring (110), at least one flow bypass channel (98) extends through the outer ring (110) assembly.
