Identify and Locate

The two engine rotors are supported by 5 bearings,

identified from N°1 (at the front) to N°5 (at the rear).
The No.1 roller bearing is located inside sump A, at the
front of the bearing No.1 and No.2 support assembly.
The No.2 ball bearing is located inside sump A, at the
rear of the bearing No.1 and No.2 support assembly.
The No.3 ball and roller bearings are located inside
sump A, in the Inlet GearBox (IGB).
The No.4 roller bearing is located inside sump B
between the Turbine Center Frame (TCF) hub and the
High Pressure Turbine (HPT) rear shaft.
The No.5 roller bearing is located inside sump C,
between the No.5 bearing support and the Low Pressure
Turbine (LPT) conical shaft.
Purpose
There are 2 categories of bearings:
- the ball bearings which take up axial and radial loads,
- the roller bearings which take up only radial loads.
The Low Pressure rotor (N1) is supported by two roller
bearings (No.1 and No.5) and one ball bearing (No.2).
The High Pressure rotor (N2) is supported by one roller
bearing and one ball bearing (No.3) and one more roller
bearing (No.4).

The maximum rates and overspeed rates are:
- 100% N1 = 3851 rpm & Red Line = 101 %,
- 100% N2 = 16645 rpm & Red Line = 116.5 %.
The maximum temperature Exhaut Gas Temperature
(EGT) value is: 1060°C (To Be Confirmed).
Engine deterioration is directly related to engine hot
section time/temperature (EGT) operation. Rapid
temperature transients also increase the deterioration
rate of hot parts.
