A method and apparatus for bearing thrust monitoring allows measurable detection of tilt of a support bearing (52 or 56) for a roller (34 or 36) which rotatably supports a rotating body (22). A tilt meter (75 or 77) adapted to measurably detect a tilt of the support bearing is coupled to the support bearing (52 or 56), where the tilt is defined as an angular difference in bearing orientation between a first bearing position and a second subsequent bearing position that is cause by an axial thrust on the rotary body (22). Once tilt is detected, the bearing orientation of the support bearing (52 or 56) can be adjusted to return the support bearing (52 or 56) to substantially the first bearing position.

Un procédé et un appareil servant à surveiller la poussée des supports permettent de détecter de manière mesurable l'inclinaison d'un palier-support (52 ou 56) d'un galet (34 ou 36) qui supporte rotatif un corps tournant (22). Un inclinomètre (75 ou 77) prévu pour détecter de manière mesurable une inclinaison du palier-support est couplé au palier-support (52 ou 56), où l'inclinaison est définie comme étant la différence angulaire de l'orientation du support entre une première position de support et une position de support suivante qui est provoquée par une poussée axiale sur le corps tournant (22). Lorsque l'inclinaison est détectée, l'orientation du support du palier-support (52 ou 56) peut être ajustée pour faire revenir le palier-support (52 ou 56) pratiquement à la première position de support.
