Abstract

A sliding element, e.g., a sliding element for slidably supporting a rotatable shaft, may include a first sliding element component, a second sliding element component, and at least one coupling element. The at least one coupling element may be configured to be coupled to the first sliding element component and may be configured to be coupled to the second sliding element component to releasably couple the first sliding element component and the second sliding element component together.
