Abstract: A bearing structure between a rotor (4) and a sleeve (2), such as in a screw device, includes at least one axial bearing (9) and one radial bearing (10). Each bearing including a series of tilting pads (11, 11?) extending in the peripheral direction and which are each suspended from a pad suspension area (12) of one of either the rotor (4) or the sleeve (2) by pad fastenings (13) which allow tilting, each tilting pad (11, 11?) having a contact surface (14, 14?). Furthermore, each bearing including a bearing ring (15) which is situated opposite the series of tilting pads (11, 11?) and cooperates with the contact surfaces thereof. The bearing ring is suspended from a bearing ring suspension area (17) of the other of either the rotor or the sleeve by bearing ring fastenings (16). The bearing ring fastenings allow contraction and expansion movements of the bearing ring.
