Abstract
A bearing assembly for an electrical generator includes a frame, a bearing liner and a ring. The frame is configured to connect with a housing of an electrical generator. The frame includes a frame opening and is made from a first material. The bearing liner connects with the frame. The bearing liner is made from a second material, which is dissimilar from the first material. At least a portion of the bearing liner passes through the frame opening. The ring surrounds the bearing liner. The ring contacts the frame and the bearing liner and maintains a clearance between the portion of the bearing liner passing through the frame opening and the frame.
