  • Bearing device and turbomachine having a bearing device
    Patent number: 9328627
    Abstract: A bearing device, for example in a turbomachine is provided. Between bearing races of the anti-friction bearings and a casing component positioned adjacent the bearing races is arranged a device for converting an axial force between the anti-friction bearings into a torque at the bearing races in the manner of a ball screw or planetary screw assembly. The bearing races are connected to one another by a feedback mechanism such that a torque at one bearing race can be converted into an opposite torque at the other bearing race.
