Patent ID: 8061902

Claim:
A floating bearing, comprising: a rotating, rotationally symmetric machine part ( 6 ); an outer ring ( 10 ) that is non-rotatably supported in an intermediate bearing ( 1 ) that is located in an installation space of a housing ( 3 , 8 ); an inner ring ( 11 ) that is non-rotatably connected with the rotating machine part ( 6 ); and locking means configured to inhibit a relative motion in a circumferential direction between the housing ( 3 , 8 ) and intermediate bearing ( 1 ) and to permit a relative axial motion between the housing ( 3 , 8 ) and intermediate bearing ( 1 ) along a rotation axis of the machine part ( 6 ), wherein the intermediate bearing is located on the housing a plastic bushing so as to avoid combining non-corrosion-resistant materials.
