In a bearing support construction: a fixed supporting structure; a shaft positioned within said structure; a bearing for the shaft having an outer race; a supporting ring for said outer race; an oil damping structure surrounding said ring and including an annular member having an inner cylindrical surface and having a mounting flange thereon; said supporting ring having an outer cylindrical surface located adjacent to and spaced radially inward of said inner cylindrical surface to define therebetween an oil damping space; said annular member having an inwardly extending flange at the end remote from the cylindrical surface; a plurality of rods extending from said flange to said supporting ring and secured in both; and the supporting ring being I-beam in shape with a disk portion to receive the rods and having integral cylindrical flanges one supporting the outer race and the other having the outer cylindrical surface for the oil damper.
