Abstract
A bearing arrangement is provided that reduces effects of differences in rates of thermal expansion between transmission housings and shaft assemblies that are made from different materials. The bearing arrangement locates the bearings with respect to other components of a shaft assembly in a manner that establishes a bearing setting stack path along components that are made from materials having common coefficients of thermal expansion, despite the shaft assembly and bearing arrangements being mounted within a housing that is made from a material which has a dissimilar coefficient of thermal expansion.
