The coating device for coating a metal band ( 12 ) in a melt ( 14 ) of a non-magnetic metal comprises a shaft ( 16 ) rotatable in the melt ( 14 ) for guiding the metal band ( 12 ). The shaft ( 16 ) is supported in a shaft bearing ( 26 <SUB>1</SUB>) that is a magnetic bearing whose stationary portion ( 28 <SUB>1</SUB>) is encapsulated. Thus, a contactless shaft support in a metal melt is obtained, whereby the bearing wear is largely reduced and the service life of the bearing is prolonged. |
