A bearing assembly for a gas turbine engine rotor includes a paired race, a
bearing, a mounting joint, and a plurality of mechanical fuses. The paired
race includes an outer race and an inner race. The bearing is between the
inner and outer races, and is configured to support the rotor on a support
frame. The mounting joint includes a joint inner race and a joint outer
race. At least one of the joint inner race and the joint outer race
includes a spherical surface. The mounting joint is configured to reduce
dynamic loads to the gas turbine engine structure and static bending to
the rotor. The plurality of mechanical fuses extend through at least one
of the joint inner race and the joint outer race.
