A bearing arrangement for the rotor ( 11 ) of a rotating machine, in particular of a hydrogenerator ( 20 ) rotating about a vertical axis ( 19 ), comprises a combined axial and radial bearing ( 23 ) which is accommodated in a bearing body ( 24 ), on which supporting arms ( 27 ) are arranged for absorbing axial forces. The supporting arms ( 27 ) are supported with the free ends on a load-bearing base. Tangentially oriented connecting elements ( 29 ) are additionally provided between the bearing body ( 24 ) and a foundation ( 21 ), enclosing the rotor, for absorbing radial forces and for centering the bearing, which connecting elements ( 29 ) are fastened at a first end to the foundation ( 21 ) and are fastened at a second end to articulation points ( 31 ) arranged directly on the bearing body ( 24 ). This results in a material-saving construction, optimization of the individual bearing functions, and improved adjustability.
