Abstract
A containing bearing for supercritical rotors surrounding the rotor and operating to stabilize the rotor in the presence of radial rotor vibrations. A gap is present between the containing bearing and the rotor and is of a size equal to or larger than the maximum amplitude of vibration of the rotor in normal operation. An outer race of the containing bearing is supported by an oblong, resilient sleeve which extends coaxially to and in extension of the rotor which at its far end is fixed to prevent rotation.
