Assembly with a housing and an outer bearing race that are formed of dissimilar metals, the assembly being configured to retain the outer bearing race to the housing over a range of temperatures

An assembly comprising:

• a housing defining a bore;
• a first bearing having a first outer bearing race, a first inner bearing race, and a plurality of first rolling elements that are disposed radially between the first outer and first inner bearing races, the first outer bearing race being received in the bore and defining an annular race on which the first rolling elements are rollingly disposed;
• a first annular compensation member fixedly coupled to the housing, the first annular compensation member having an outside circumferential surface that is received about an inside circumferential surface of the first outer bearing race;
• wherein the housing is formed of a first material having a first coefficient of linear thermal expansion, wherein the first outer bearing race is formed of a second material having a second coefficient of linear thermal expansion, and wherein the first annular compensation member is formed of a third material having a third coefficient of linear thermal expansion;
• and
• (a) wherein a fit between an outside circumferential surface of the first outer bearing race and an inside circumferential surface of the bore in the housing fixedly couples the first outer bearing race to the housing when the temperature of the assembly is at or below a first predetermined temperature, (b) wherein the outside circumferential surface of the first outer bearing race is disengaged from the inside circumferential surface of the bore when the temperature of the assembly is at or above a second predetermined temperature, the second predetermined temperature being greater than the first predetermined temperature, and (c) wherein a fit between the inside circumferential surface of the first outer bearing race and the outside circumferential surface of the first annular compensation member fixedly couples the first outer bearing race to the first annular compensation member when the temperature of the assembly is at or above the second predetermined temperature to thereby inhibit axial and rotational movement of the first outer bearing race relative to the housing.
