The invention describes a suspension of axial turret bearing units (15) in a turret bearing (6) and comprises a rail support structure (13) mounted on a turret bearing support structure (7), a circular rail (14) mounted on the rail support structure, a plurality of axial bearing units (15, 71) running on the circular rail, a shaft for each axial bearing unit (15, 71) with the bearing unit attached to the outer end of the shaft, and an inner support structure (29) for supporting the inner end of each shaft. Furthermore the suspension of axial turret bearing units comprises an outer shaft suspension (21) close to each bearing unit, comprising a flexible collar 22 with an inner width similar to the width of the shaft and an inner height substantially higher than the height of the shaft, a transitional section (25) connected to the collar 22, a plate section (24) connected to the transitional section (25) and fastened to a bearing support structure (17, 17') on the turret, wherein the plate section 24 is large enough to spread the applied loads on said structure. It also comprise a releasable connection of the shaft to the inner support structure (29), wherein the shaft (19) is terminated just outside the inner support structure (29).
