Abstract
A thrust bearing comprises a support and a stationary stand, the support being mounted on the stand for pivoting about an axis extending radially with respect to a cylinder rotating about an axis and comprising a ring and bearings supporting the ring for rotation of the cylinder. The ring has two plane faces, one face on each side of the pivoting axis of the support, and bearings are mounted on the pivotal support in a gliding relationship along at least one of the plane faces of the ring.
