Abstract:
A bearing load sharing system comprising: first and second rotors extending in an axial direction; a first thrust bearing having an inner race and an outer race, the inner race connected to the first rotor; a second thrust bearing having an inner race and an outer race, the inner race connected to the second rotor; and an inter-rotor bearing having an inner race and an outer race, the inner race connected to one of the first and second rotor and the outer race connected to the other of the first and second rotor; wherein the outer race of the first bearing and/or the outer race of the second bearing is movable to vary the axial spacing between the outer races.
