Claims18
A rotor assembly, comprising:
- a rotor disc;
- a plurality of rotor blades fixed to the rotor disc and extending radially outward in a radial direction of the rotor disc;
- and
- at least one rolling element configured to roll on a curved surface facing inward in the radial direction of the rotor disc,
- wherein the at least one rolling element includes:
- a first rolling element configured to roll on a first curved surface as the curved surface;
- and
- a second rolling element configured to roll on a second curved surface as the curved surface, and
- wherein the rotor assembly satisfies at least one of the following conditions (A) and (C):
- (A) a first curvature radius R1 of the first curved surface is different from a second curvature radius R2 of the second curved surface;
- or
- (C) a distance d1 from a central axis of the rotor disc to the first rolling element is different from a distance d2 from the central axis of the rotor disc to the second rolling element.
