Abstract
A mounting of a shaft in the bore of a housing by two antifriction bearings mounted in a sleeve at a distance from each other, the said sleeve being arranged in the bore of a housing having a higher coefficient of thermal expansion than the mounting elements and being provided with a radially outwardly directed flange, the flange being pressed by elastic spring means against a contact surface of the housing traversed by the bore whereby frictional engagement exists between the said surface and the flange characterized in that the sleeve and housing are axially braced with the elastic spring means preferably yielding axially and abutting a housing surface plane parallel to the contact surface and radially supporting the sleeve in relation to the housing, and a method of assembling the said mounting.
