Abstract
A bearing system may have an inner race coupled to an outer race defining a lubrication volume and a shield coupled to the outer race, the shield at least partially defining an aperture of the lubrication volume. The aperture may permit the flow of lubricating oil through the bearing system. The shield may retain a quantity of oil within the bearing system. The bearing system may be operated without an oil supply, for example, during an emergency, and the retained quantity of oil may provide ongoing lubrication.
