Effect of Bearing Support Parameters on the Radial and Angular Deformation of Rotor Shaft Gear Based on CRDRS Support Configuration with Intermediate Bearing Support by Xiaojie Yuan, Xiaoyu Che, Rupeng Zhu, Weifang Chen

“…In contrast, although adjustments in bearing support stiffness also follow a linear pattern in influencing deformation, their impact is relatively limited. Overall, optimal design should prioritize the adjustment of bearing positions, particularly the layout of <i>b</i>₃ relative to <i>s</i>₂, while complementing it with coordinated modifications to the stiffness of bearings <i>b</i>₂, <i>b</i>₃, and <i>b</i>₄ to effectively enhance the static characteristics of the dual-rotor shaft gears.…”
