A bearing support apparatus for a gas turbine engine, comprising: a stationary housing which defines an annular recess, the recess closed off at forward and aft ends (38,40) thereof; and a bearing damper, the bearing damper comprising: (a) an annular sleeve having spaced-apart forward and aft grooves (44, 46) formed in a radially-facing surface therein, the sleeve received in the annular recess such that the forward groove is adjacent the forward end of the annular recess and the aft groove is adjacent the aft end of the annular recess; (b) an annular bearing race received in the sleeve and the annular recess; and (c) a resilient seal ring (54, 154) disposed in each of the forward and aft grooves (44, 46) wherein each of the seal rings is a physically continuous member disposed in continuous sealing contact with both a radially facing surface of the respective groove and a radially facing surface of the bearing race, wherein the seal rings (54, 154) cooperate with the sleeve and a radially-facing surface of the bearing race to define a closed annular gap, and further wherein the seal rings (54,154) are sized so as to urge the bearing race towards a coaxial position relative to the sleeve. a stationary housing which defines an annular recess, the recess closed off at forward and aft ends (38,40) thereof; and a bearing damper, the bearing damper comprising: (a) an annular sleeve having spaced-apart forward and aft grooves (44, 46) formed in a radially-facing surface therein, the sleeve received in the annular recess such that the forward groove is adjacent the forward end of the annular recess and the aft groove is adjacent the aft end of the annular recess; (b) an annular bearing race received in the sleeve and the annular recess; and (c) a resilient seal ring (54, 154) disposed in each of the forward and aft grooves (44, 46) wherein each of the seal rings is a physically continuous member disposed in continuous sealing contact with both a radially facing surface of the respective groove and a radially facing surface of the bearing race, wherein the seal rings (54, 154) cooperate with the sleeve and a radially-facing surface of the bearing race to define a closed annular gap, and further wherein the seal rings (54,154) are sized so as to urge the bearing race towards a coaxial position relative to the sleeve. (a) an annular sleeve having spaced-apart forward and aft grooves (44, 46) formed in a radially-facing surface therein, the sleeve received in the annular recess such that the forward groove is adjacent the forward end of the annular recess and the aft groove is adjacent the aft end of the annular recess; (b) an annular bearing race received in the sleeve and the annular recess; and (c) a resilient seal ring (54, 154) disposed in each of the forward and aft grooves (44, 46) wherein each of the seal rings is a physically continuous member disposed in continuous sealing contact with both a radially facing surface of the respective groove and a radially facing surface of the bearing race, wherein the seal rings (54, 154) cooperate with the sleeve and a radially-facing surface of the bearing race to define a closed annular gap, and further wherein the seal rings (54,154) are sized so as to urge the bearing race towards a coaxial position relative to the sleeve.
