Support for electric machine in a turbine engine

Devices and methods for supporting an accessory (32) in a gas turbine engine (10) are disclosed. The accessory (32) has an interface (36) for coupling to a shaft (24) of the gas turbine engine (10). The device comprises a first support (38) configured to support a first portion (34) of the accessory (32) proximal the interface (36) and a second support (40) configured to support a second portion (35) of the accessory (32) distal from the interface (36). The second support (40) is configured to provide a lower resistance to relative displacement between the accessory (32) and structure (42) of the engine (10) than does the first support (34).
