  • Patent number: 9574610
    Abstract: A bearing support assembly adapted for interchangeably supporting a bearing in an inboard configuration and an outboard configuration is provided. The assembly may include a universal end plate to which either of a first bearing support cartridge that is designed for supporting the bearing in the outboard configuration or a second bearing support cartridge that is designed for supporting the bearing in the inboard configuration may be mounted. The first and second bearing support cartridges may include mounting holes that match mounting holes in the end plate thereby permitting the cartridges to be interchangeably mounted to the end plate. This can eliminate the need to replace the end plate when switching between an inboard bearing configuration and an outboard bearing configuration, or vice versa. The bearing support assembly may also include a spacer adapted for axially locating an inner sleeve of a multi-component seal.
