Proposed supports for ball bearings press outer races against balls without radial clearance. Diaphragm-like axially flexible springs eliminate deadband and consequent nonlinear radial vibrational response of rotor. If shaft needs two bearings at each end, they are supported independently or connected in series by U-spring. Mechanical stops limit axial travel of shaft.
