Abstract

A pendulum sliding bearing has a sliding bearing bushing provided for receiving a rotatable elements, such as shafts, axles and the like, the sliding bearing bushing having calotte portions at end sides, a bearing body formed of a metal plate and having a ring-shaped abutment surface for one of the calotte portions of the sliding bearing bushing, a wall extending substantially outwardly of the abutment surface, and a casing adjoining the wall and provided for insertion in a cylindrical opening, a spring disk having a central opening and an adjoining at least one second abutment surface for the second calotte portion of the sliding bearing bushing and having a radially outer edge fixed on the bearing body, the casing being subdivided into casing fields which extend substantially parallel to a longitudinal axial of the bearing body so that gaps are available between the casing fields, a plurality of supporting fingers extending at least over a width of the gaps from the wall in a direction opposite to a course of the casing.
