LOADED BEARING SYSTEM

A bearing system (20) for supporting a shaft (18), comprising: a bearing (30) including: an inner race (32b) about an axis (A), the inner race (32b) having an interior coupled to the shaft (18); rolling elements (34b) about the axis (A) and around the inner race (32b); and an outer race (38b) about the axis (A) and around the rolling elements (34b); a housing (50) having a cavity (52) defining an axial location (X) relative to the axis (A), the bearing (30) received by the cavity (52); a first axial loading structure (60) in the cavity (52) and operatively connected to the bearing (30); and a second axial loading structure (70) in the cavity (52) extending axially away from the axial location (X) in a first axial direction, the second loading structure (70) opposing movement of the bearing (30) relative to the axial location (X) in a second axial direction when the bearing (30) loads the second axial loading structure (70) in the second axial direction, the first and second axial loading structures operationally independent from one another.
