BEARING CLAMPING ASSEMBLY FOR A GAS TURBINE ENGINE

摘要

A bearing clamping assembly for a gas turbine engine is disclosed for preventing relative rotation between a first shaft and a shaft bearing assembly race in the event of bearing failure. The clamping assembly which applies an axial force to the bearing race to maintain it in position relative to the shaft. The first shaft is secured to second shaft by an axial clamping means. The clamping of the two shafts compresses the force on the bearing race to maintain the race in position in the event of bearing failure.
