Rotary machine which comprises a housing having a low-pressure side and a high-pressure side (3) and incorporating working-fluid inlet and outlet channels, at least one rotor (7) urged by the working fluid towards the low-pressure side, and a thrust balancing arrangement (15, 16) incorporating an auxiliary bearing (17). The auxiliary bearing (17) is mounted on an outer-most part of the rotor journal shaft (18), on the high-pressure side (3) of the rotor, between, on the one hand, a locking device (27) intended for the auxiliary bearing (17) and removably mounted on the journal shaft, and the thrust balancing arrangement on the other, this thrust balancing arrangement being located inwards of the auxiliary thrust bearing and having the form of two annular parts (15, 16) which are axially extendible in a known manner and which are located in a cylindrical recess (14) in the housing. |
