Abstract

A bearing for the shaft of a spinning rotor of an open-end spinning machine, wherein the shaft is magnetically supported axially and radially without contact by two axially spaced-apart magnet pairs on the shaft and stator housing in dispositions rotationally symmetrical to the axis of the rotor. The magnet pairs have nonidentical magnet poles facing one another and an electromagnetic center position regulator is provided to maintain an axial center position.
