In a hydrodynamic axial bearing ( ), a rotating body ( ) is mounted radially in a radial bearing ( ) of a bearing body ( ). The rotating body ( ) comprises a shaft ( ), with its shaft journal ( ) mounted in the radial bearing ( ), and a bearing collar ( ) which is connected fixedly to the shaft ( ) and corotates with the shaft ( ). A floating disk ( ) is arranged in an annular-groove-shaped space ( ) between a wall ( ) of the fixed bearing body ( ) and a projection ( ) of the corotating bearing collar ( ). The floating disk ( ) has a central circular orifice ( ) which is designed as an integrated hydrodynamic radial bearing ( ). By means of this radial bearing ( ), the floating disk ( ) is mounted radially on a fixed bearing element ( ) concentrically surrounding the rotating body ( ) on a portion ( ).
