An assembly for supporting and guiding a drive shaft for an aircraft turbine engine includes a bearing support having a cylindrical housing for receiving an outer ring of a bearing, and a device for rotationally retaining a first portion of the outer ring which is detached from its attachment to the bearing support. When the detachment occurs, the free outer peripheries of the first teeth of the first portion cooperate by wedge effect in the tangential direction with complementary inner surfaces of the housing of the bearing support and/or the free inner peripheries of the second teeth inside the housing cooperate by wedge effect in the tangential direction with complementary outer surfaces of the outer ring.

A device for centring and rotationally guiding a turbomachine shaft, including a rolling bearing including an outer ring, a bearing mount, a band interposed between the outer ring and the bearing mount and a device for connecting the outer ring to the bearing mount, including a device for the axial retention of the outer ring including an axial thrust flange downstream of and in contact with the fixing flange of the connecting device, and including a fixing hole for fixing together the fixing flange, the bearing mount and the axial thrust flange, which latter further includes a lug extending between two successive tabs of the elastically deformable device.

An assembly for a turbomachine includes a fan rotor drive shaft, a rolling element and a support of an exterior rolling-element bearing ring including an exterior annular element as well as an interior annular element coupled through a decoupling interface in the shape of a truncated sphere and configured to be retained by friction under normal operating conditions of the turbomachine, and to move with respect to one another in the event of a fan blade loss. The rolling-element bearing is designed so that each rolling element has four points of contact with the rings, and so that the interface between the ring and the support has a hollowed space for deformation routed around a central portion of the exterior ring.

A device for cooling a rolling bearing (), in particular for a turbine engine. The device includes an annular bearing support () having a substantially cylindrical wall () of which an inner peripheral face () is configured to surround an outer ring () of the rolling bearing. The wall is able to dispense cooling fluid via a fluidic network for circulating the fluid and for supplying annular cooling grooves () of the bearing with fluid.

The invention relates to an outside ring of a rotary shaft bearing of a turbomachine, comprising a first guiding edge of at least one rolling element, the first guiding edge comprising an inside surface of the first guiding edge, an outside surface of the first guiding edge opposite the inside surface and at least one through-hole passing through the inside surface and the outside surface. Moreover, the inside surface of the first guiding edge forms a shoulder for guiding the rolling element, the through-hole defining a lubricant drainage orifice.
