Abstract:
1. An axial sliding bearing having a sliding ring disposed between a planar, circular-ring-shaped, pressure-stressed bearing surface provided with at least one lubrication groove and a planar, circular-ring-shaped, pressure-stressed running surface disposed opposite the bearing surface, wherein the sliding ring is formed by an inner supporting ring, on the circumference of which, a plurality of ribs are disposed, uniformly distributed, in radial manner, wherein a radial sliding segment is disposed on each of the ribs, at a distance of a ring gap from the supporting ring, in each instance, each of the sliding segments has a planar supporting surface that radially follows the rib and lies planar against the running surface in the run-up state of the bearing, wherein slightly inclined, angled-away circular ring segment surfaces are disposed on both sides of the supporting surface, in the direction of the bearing surface, the slightly inclined, angled-away circular ring segment surfaces comprise a run-off surface disposed on each supporting surface of the sliding ring, in the direction of rotation of the running surface, and, counter to the direction of rotation of the running surface, a carrying surface disposed on each supporting surface of the sliding ring, the carrying surface is significantly larger than the run-off surface, wherein the angled-away, free edge of the carrying surface lies planar on the bearing surface in the axially unstressed state of the bearing, and a lubrication gap is disposed between the sliding segments, i.e. between each run-off surface and each carrying surface, in each instance, and the ratio of the outside diameter of the sliding ring in the region of the carrying surfaces to the sheet-metal thickness of the sliding ring is less than or equal to 33 to 1.
