  • Publication number: 20200072053
    Abstract: A turbomachine having a fan shaft supported by a first bearing positioned downstream of the fan, the first bearing including an outer ring attached to an annular support secured to the stator. The turbomachine includes at least one gas feed duct leading into an enclosure positioned against the disc, the gas feed duct being adapted to be fed at a second end with pressurized gas taken from an airstream of a high-pressure compressor of the turbomachine, so that the gas applies an axial force towards upstream on the disc during some operating phases of the turbomachine. The turbomachine further includes a ferrule imperviously sealing the enclosure.
