Abstract
A plurality of arcuate, vibration cushioning, spring beams are positioned in endwise relationship in the interior of an annular bearing housing to resiliently support an annular journal bearing therewithin which, in turn, rotatably supports a shaft. An annular clearance is provided between the bearing housing and the bearing elements, and oil is introduced to the clearance to provide viscous damping of vibrations.
