Bearing system with independent adaptive stiffness support

A bearing system is provided that is configured to surround the rotor in a circumferential direction corresponding to the rotor. The rotor extends in an axial direction in the same direction as a centerline axis of the rotor. The bearing system includes a body from which a plurality of first support members each extend, and wherein the plurality of first support members are spaced apart from one another in a circumferential direction. Each first support member includes a first axial support arm extending in an axial direction and a first radial support arm extending from the first axial support arm in a radial direction. The first radial support arm is configured to position the bearing element in contact with a bearing surface at the rotor. 提供了轴承系统，其被构造为沿对应于转子的周向方向包围转子。转子沿与转子的中心线轴线同向的轴向方向延伸。该轴承系统包括本体，多个第一支撑构件各自从该本体延伸，并且其中多个第一支撑构件沿周向方向彼此间隔开。每个第一支撑构件包括沿轴向方向延伸的第一轴向支撑臂和沿径向方向从第一轴向支撑臂延伸的第一径向支撑臂。第一径向支撑臂被构造为将轴承元件定位成与转子处的轴承表面接触。
