摘要 |
The invention relates to a bearing structure between a rotor (4) and a sleeve (2), such as in a screw device, comprising at least one axial bearing (9) and one radial bearing (10). These bearings each comprise a series of tilting pads extending in the peripheral direction (11, 11') and which are each suspended from a pad suspension area (12) of one of either the rotor (4) or the sleeve (2) by means of pad fastenings (13) which allow tilting, which tilting pads (11, 11') each have a contact surface (14, 14'). Furthermore, the bearings each comprise a bearing ring (15) which is situated opposite the series of tilting pads (11, 11') and cooperates with the contact surfaces (14, 14') thereof The bearing ring (15) is suspended from a bearing ring suspension area (17) of the other of either the rotor (4) or the sleeve (2) by means of bearing ring fastenings (16). The bearing ring fastenings (16) allow contraction and expansion movements of the bearing ring (15). |
