摘要 |
The invention relates to an arrangement for compensating the axial thrust of a fluid-flow machine. A load-relieving element (11) is non-rotatably connected to a shaft (1). A flow-restrictor gap (13) is formed by this element together with a counter-element (12) secured to the housing, said gap being formed between the load-relieving element (11) and the counter-element (12). The counter-element (12) is provided with a device for maintaining the distance between the load-relieving element (11) and the counter-element (12). The device comprises at least one force-generating element (14). Said force -generating element (14) generates a force that acts in opposition to the axial thrust. |
