DIRT GUIDE GROOVES IN LUBRICATED PLAIN BEARINGS.

摘要

A lubricated plain bearing having at least one dirt guide groove (20) formed on the sliding surface (1'), which dirt guide groove extends at least partially to a greater extent in the circumferential direction of the bearing shell than in the axial direction (A) of a shaft mounted therein, extends as far as an edge (12) of the bearing and is open at the edge, such that dirt particles transported by the dirt guide groove (20) to the edge (12) can be discharged to the outside.
