Abstract:
A foil bearing includes a bearing back, a foil arrangement, and a setting mechanism. The bearing back includes a passage opening configured to receive a shaft, such that a gap is formed between the shaft and the bearing back. The foil arrangement defines a first inner circumference and includes a first segment-shaped foil arranged in the gap adjacent to the bearing back, a second segment-shaped foil arranged in the gap adjacent to the first segment-shaped foil, and a third segment-shaped foil arranged in the gap between the shaft and the second segment-shaped foil. The setting mechanism is configured to set the first inner circumference.
