Abstract

See full text

According to one embodiment of the invention, a system for maintaining relative axial positioning between two rotating assemblies comprises a first rotatable assembly and a second rotatable assembly. The first rotatable assembly has captor plates. The captor plates form a cavity between a first of the captors plates and a second of the captor plates. The second rotatable assembly has a thrust plate. The thrust plate comprises a disc positioned within the cavity of the captor plates. The first rotatable assembly is axially positioned with respect to the second rotatable assembly through a rolling interaction between the thrust plate and the captor plates, or the second rotatable assembly is axially positioned with respect to the first rotatable assembly through a rolling interaction between the thrust plate and the captor plates.
