Abstract
Disclosed is a device having a rotor that is adapted to be rotated relative to a stator, with hydrostatic bearings being used as radial bearings and as axial bearings of the rotor. A motor is provided as a direct drive, having a ring-shaped part and also a plurality of motor segments which are in magnetic engagement with the ring-shaped part. In order to generate additional bearing load force, additional motor segments having permanent magnets are provided. For reasons of safety, axial support rolls are provided which, when the motor has attained a given bearing load force, are spaced from a running face of the rotor, and which, in a case of too low or an absence of load force, prevent a displacement of the rotor away from the axial bearings.
