The bearing arrangement is made with 2 ball bearings (one on the 
shaft end + another on the rear). The rear bearing is blocked in axial 
translation and the front one is free in translation to avoid any stress 
from the shaft thermal expansion during the running. 
So, it is important not to block in translation the shaft expansion by any 
extra bearing or similar device.
