Vibration control

One technique I have seen is to de-tune the bearing mounting by a combination of viscous damping with spring centering. The viscous part can be accomplished by a squeeze-film clearance between the outer race and static frame hub, pressurized by the oil supply.

Similar in principle to the suspension in your automobile or aircraft, but tuned to a much higher frequency.
