Abstract
A fixed bearing for a radial or diagonal flow compressor is guided in a damping bush whose axial position can be fixed by means of a reconciling plate to establish a desired running gap with respect to the compressor housing. The damping bush has a receiving device for a supporting element which rests against the reconciling plate, such that the supporting element and the reconciling plate are removable when the damping bush is disposed in the compressor housing. When the rotor is mounted, the required thickness of the reconciling disk can be determined and this reconciling disk can then be inserted without removing the rotor or the damping bush for the adjustment of the desired running gap.
