Abstract
A bearing support assembly for supporting a bearing assembly within a bearing compartment of a gas turbine engine includes a centering spring and a bearing support member integrally joined together to form a one piece structure. The centering spring connects to the bearing assembly and has a portion that extends conically relative to a centerline axis of the gas turbine engine. The bearing support member extends from the centering spring to connect to an engine case of the gas turbine engine.
