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 />
