A gas turbine engine includes a cover, a support, and a sealing member. The cover has a cover housing and a cover arm extending from the cover housing between a first arm end connected to the cover housing and a second arm end having a cover end surface. The support has a support body, a first support arm extending between a first support arm first end connected to the support body and a first support arm second end. The cover arm extends into the first support arm. The sealing member at least partially extends across a gap defined between the cover end surface and the first support arm.

Gas turbine engine having a sealing member

A bearing support includes a squirrel cage including a fenestrated portion with a plurality of circumferentially spaced apart windows defined therethrough. A bearing support cage inboard of the squirrel cage defines a plurality of circumferentially spaced apart windows therethrough. The bearing support cage is operatively connected to the squirrel cage to support a bearing from within the squirrel cage.

Bearing supports

Systems and methods are disclosed herein for bearings in a gas turbine engine. A bearing system may include a squirrel cage and a bearing support cage coupled to the squirrel cage. The bearing support cage may include an outer race and a fenestrated cone. The bearing support cage may include a support cage anti-rotation tab adjacent to the outer race. The bearing system may include a housing coupled to the squirrel cage. The housing may include a housing anti-rotation tab. The support cage anti-rotation tab and the housing anti-rotation tab may prevent the bearing system from twisting.
