An axial bearing for a
spinning rotor (1) of an open-end
spinning device, which is supported in an axially thrust-free manner, particularly in a bearing space of a support disc bearing, comprises a static bearing component. This static bearing component includes at least two axially polarized permanent
magnet rings (7) bounded on both sides by ferromagnetic pole disks (8). These permanent
magnet rings are arranged in a bearing housing (6) such that, in the installed state, poles of the same polarity face each other. The static bearing component is designed, in particular, to interact during operation with a dynamic bearing component. This dynamic bearing component is formed by ferromagnetic webs (4) arranged on the rotor shaft (2) of the
spinning rotor (1) at a distance from the pole disks (8). Each pole disk (8) has an axis (17) arranged vertically in the installed state of the pole disks (8), an axis (16) arranged orthogonally to the
vertical axis (17), a central opening (14), and a disk ring (15).The disc ring (15) has a chamfer (12) and / or a non-ferromagnetic material on its inner circumference, adjacent to the central opening (14), along the
vertical axis (17). A pole disk (8) and a bearing housing (7) are designed accordingly.
