BEARING ARRANGEMENT WITH A BACK-UP BEARING, IN PARTICULAR FOR MOUNTING THE RAPIDLY ROTATING SHAFT OF A COMPRESSOR

摘要

A bearing arrangement for the rotatable mounting of a shaft (7) in relation to a housing (8), including a back-up bearing (9) which is designed as a rolling contact bearing, wherein the rolling contact bearing can absorb forces in the axial and radial direction and is designed in particular as an angular rolling bearing, especially as a two-row angular ball bearing, wherein the rolling contact bearing (9) is substantially left open in the radial direction. The object addressed by the invention is that of providing a bearing arrangement with a back-up bearing for a shaft, which bearing arrangement can better absorb in particular the forces occurring in the mounting of rapidly rotating, solid shafts.
