An exhaust housing having an eductor is provided. The eductor includes an outer annular casing circumscribing an inner annular casing to define a flow path therebetween for receiving the exhaust gas from the turbine section of an engine. A plurality of struts are integral with both casings. The struts have passages that extend from the exterior of the outer casing to the interior of the inner casing. A non-oil lubricated bearing is mounted within the interior of the inner casing for journaling a rotating shaft. During operation, the kinetic energy of the high velocity exhaust gas flowing between the casings and into a tailpipe induces cooling airflow from the exterior of the exhaust section, through the passages, across the bearing, and then out to the tailpipe.
