Abstract
A bearing assembly is described that includes a shaft and an inner race affixed to the shaft. An outer race is disposed radially around the inner race defining a bearing run space with rolling elements between the inner and outer races. An axial bore in the support or the rotor has a radial gap between the bore wall and the outer race, and the assembly is configured to provide a radial displacement between a portion of the outer race and the axial bore wall in response to a radial overload force applied to the rotor.
