Abstract
A safety device (10) for a bearing arrangement of a rotor of a turbomachine, whereby the safety device (10) includes at least two support structures (12) between which at least one buckling structure (14) is arranged that is configured to collapse when a predetermined buckling load that acts on at least one of the support structures (12) is exceeded, thereby reducing the volume of the safety device (10). A method for the production of a safety device (10) for a bearing arrangement of a rotor of a turbomachine, as well as to a bearing arrangement of a rotor of a turbomachine having such a safety device (10).
