BEARING FOR THE ROTOR OF A ROTATING MACHINE

摘要

The invention relates to a bearing for a rotor of a rotating machine (10), especially a hydrogenerator which rotates around a vertically rotating axis (11). Said bearing is embodied as a sliding bearing and comprises first mean s (21, 24) for axial bearing and second means (21, 25) for radial bearing. Due to said bearing, simplified and improved bearing properties are achieved suc h that the first and second means are united to form a combined radial and axi al bearing (21) which simultaneously comprises axially sliding surfaces (24) an d radially sliding surfaces (25).
