<p>The assembly (8) has bearing units (30) distributed around a rotational axis, where each bearing unit has an elastic unit (50) with a fixed part integrated to a fixed base (70). A bearing surface is connected to a mobile part of the elastic unit, where a minimum radius of the bearing surface is comprised between 1 and 3 m. Ducts and chambers define a closed circuit that is extended around a rotation axis. The bearing surface has a ceramic material, and the elastic unit has a plate formed by a stainless steel sheet. An independent claim is also included for a marine turbine comprising a shaft.</p> |
