IEEM Bearing Design<br />

• Problem: Locking Collar has poor thermal<br />

contact with IEEM inner structure, since it<br />

is supported on ball bearings. If a large<br />

temperature difference develops, the<br />

bearings could seize.<br />

• Solution: Design contact angle <strong>of</strong><br />

bearings such that contact cones intersect<br />

on centerline <strong>of</strong> IEEM. Then any<br />

differential expansion <strong>of</strong> Locking Collar<br />

w.r.t. center structure occurs parallel to<br />

bearing contact, not affecting clearance or<br />

preload.<br />
