SUBSTANCE: invention relates to machine building, namely, to turbo compressors for, for example, ICE supercharging, in particular, to radial plain bearings. Proposed turbo compressor comprises casing with oil feed and discharge lines, shaft with compressor impellers, turbine, radial bearings and axial plain bearing, and thrust bearing disc. Note here that annular element is arranged on turbine wheel side to make cylindrical chamber with axial bearing base. Said chamber houses radial plain bearings made up of self-aligning segments with plain bearings.
