Abstract

A bearing configuration for the rotational mounting of a component provided for rotational movement includes a positionally fixed sleeve on which the component is rotatably mounted by one or more bearing elements or a plain-bearing. A pressure element is provided in the interior of the sleeve for readily expanding the sleeve and placing the sleeve in frictional contact with the component which is spaced apart from the sleeve by an air gap. A medical examination device having the bearing configuration is also provided.
