  • Patent number: 7237959
    Abstract: The invention relates to a rotary shaft arrangement carrying equipment at one end and extending rearwards from the equipment, the shaft (1) being supported by a first bearing (2) behind the equipment, and by a second bearing (3) behind the first bearing (2), the first bearing (2) being carried by a casing (4) surrounding the shaft (1) and extending rearwards from the first bearing (2) to a stator structure (5) to which the casing (4) is fastened by screws (6) that extend parallel to the shaft (1) and that are fusible in traction, the arrangement being characterized by the fact that the second bearing (3) is disposed with radial clearance (J) in a bore (7) of an annular support (8) secured to the stator structure (5), and is fastened to said annular support (8) by screws (9) that are parallel to the shaft (1) and that are fusible in shear, whereby the second bearing (3) can bear against said support (8) in the event of said screws (9) rupturing.

  • Publication number: 20060110244
    Abstract: The invention relates to a turbomachine comprising a rotor with a drive shaft centered on the axis of the turbomachine by a first bearing and a second bearing which bearings are supported respectively by a first-bearing-support piece and a second-bearing-support piece which are secured to one another and connected to the turbomachine fixed structure by a decoupling device. This turbomachine comprises means designed to collaborate with at least one element of the turbomachine fixed structure in order to perform a dual function, that of preventing the bearing supports, from rotating and that of radially retaining the drive shaft in the event of the bearings becoming decoupled.
