Patent ID: 7677806

Claim:
A bearing element for a bearing for borne supporting of a bearing counter-element, comprising: a bearing segment at which said bearing counter-element is supportably borne with an axial force component in the direction of said bearing segment; at least one positioning segment lateral to said bearing segment for positioning said bearing element at a lateral side wall of said bearing for fixing and/or orienting said bearing element in said bearing; and support elements projecting laterally from said bearing segment, said support elements being physically distanced from each nonadjacent support element, and said support elements being distanced from said bearing segment, each embodying at least one positioning segment, wherein said support elements include a first group of support elements that are shaped from said bearing segment extending outward out, such that their positioning segment is arranged adjacent to said lateral side wall and structurally supported at said lateral side wall, said lateral sidewall being arranged to said bearing segment and distanced from said bearing segment, wherein said support elements include a second group of support elements that arc outward from said bearing element such that their positioning segment can be arranged adjacent to a back side wall and supported at said back side wall, said back side wall is arranged on the back side of said bearing segment opposing a front side of said bearing counter element and distanced from said bearing segment, and wherein said first group of support elements embodied for structurally supporting at said back side wall extend axially further in the direction of said back side wall than said second group of support elements embodied for structurally supporting at said lateral side wall.
