An electro-dynamic machine including a rotor shaft extending along an axis and a bearing rotatably supporting the rotor shaft for rotation about the axis. An inner housing has an outer surface and defines a bearing bore. The bearing bore receives and supports the bearing. An outer housing surrounds the inner housing. A plurality of non-radial ribs extends from the outer housing to the inner housing. The non-radial ribs are coupled to the inner housing substantially tangential to the outer surface.
