Friction bearing for rotor pivot of liquid counter

In the liquid counter having a rotor pivot operating in a stream of cryogenic medium with the rotor pivot mounted in a friction bearing, the improvement being said friction bearing being loosely mounted in a housing while said liquid counter is in operating condition, means for axially and radially arresting said friction bearing in said housing, a sleeve connecting said housing and said friction bearing with each other, said rotor pivot having an end face within said friction bearing, said housing having an end edge disposed toward the rotor of said counter, said friction bearing having an end face disposed toward said rotor, and the distance between said end face of said rotor pivot and said sleeve being smaller than the distance between said end face of said friction bearing and said edge of said housing.
