Claim:
A device, comprising: a hydrodynamic rotary bearing, comprising: a first bearing part and a second bearing part pivotable relatively to each other, and a lubricant and a contact zone between the first bearing part and the second bearing part at least when the hydrodynamic rotary bearing is at rest; a support structure comprising a first ring-shaped projection; and a rotating shaft, wherein the support structure and the rotating shaft having a centre axis which rotating shaft and support structure are pivotable supported against each other via the hydrodynamic rotary bearing, wherein a shape of the rotating shaft and a shape the support structure are such that when they are arranged on the hydrodynamic rotary bearing that the contact zone of the hydrodynamic rotary bearing is submerged in the lubricant even when the hydrodynamic rotary bearing is at rest, wherein the first ring-shaped projection of the support structure is connected to the second bearing part, and wherein the first bearing part is an outer bearing sleeve and the second bearing part is an inner ring.
