Abstract
A method of assembling a rotor shaft assembly is provided. The method includes assembling a self-aligning bearing seat from a first assembly and a second assembly such that the self-aligning bearing seat substantially circumscribes a rotor shaft. The method also includes creating an interface defined between the first assembly and the second assembly, such that when the rotor shaft experiences misalignment the interface accommodates misalignment of the rotor shaft.
