Abstract

The thrust bearing comprises an annular support within which at least one annular plate is retained. The plate defines either a planar slideway if the bearing is a smooth bearing or a planar raceway if the bearing is a rolling bearing. At least one axially deformable annular elastically yieldable member is retained in the support and applied against the plate.
