Abstract

Slide shoe for use in a plain bearing, notably in an axial thrust bearing. The outer periphery (50) of the slide shoe has below its sliding surface (10) a peripheral recess (52) through which the slide shoe rim area (56) that features the appropriate rim area of the sliding surface (10), can flex into the peripheral recess (52) when the sliding surface (10) expands under the effect of temperature more heavily than the deeper part of the slide shoe.
