Bearing device having at least one kingpin

摘要

A bearing device includes at least one kingpin, a carrier unit, a first bearing unit, and a second bearing unit. The first and second bearing units rotatably support the carrier unit relative to the kingpin. The first bearing unit includes an angular contact sliding bearing that includes a first bearing element, a second bearing element and a third bearing element, the first and second bearing elements being movable relative to each other during at least one operating process, and the third bearing element being disposed between the first bearing element and the second bearing element. During the operating process the third bearing element slides on the first and/or second bearing element, and the third bearing element is formed at least partially from a polymer.
