  • Bearing arrangement for high-speed shafts
    Patent number: 5090822
    Abstract: An improved bearing arrangement for a high-speed, preferably vertical, shaft having a bearing body which takes up both the axial and the radial bearing forces. The bearing body is clamped or mounted in a fixed support solely by means of at least one elastic membrane-type element, e.g. a disc-shaped membrane, which extends in the radial direction so as to provide for the elastic return of the bearing body and the shaft to an initial reference position in both radial and axial directions.
