More Information
Summary:A bearing assembly installed within a turbocharger housing between a turbine wheel and a compressor impeller mounted for rotation together on a turbocharger shaft may include a journal bearing disposed on a corresponding portion of the turbocharger shaft, a thrust bearing having a thrust bearing surface, and a bearing carrier. The bearing carrier may include a carrier body, a carrier body bore extending axially through the carrier body and receiving the journal bearing therein, and a thrust bearing seat on the exterior of the carrier body facing the turbine wheel. The thrust bearing seat may have a complimentary shape to the thrust bearing surface of the thrust bearing, the thrust bearing disposed between the carrier body and the turbine wheel and engaging the thrust bearing seat. The bearing assembly may further include an anti-thrust bearing surface facing the compressor impeller, and an anti-thrust bearing mounted to the anti-thrust bearing surface.
