Abstract

A sliding bearing for axial and/or radial arrangement of a first bearing member in relation to a second bearing member, comprises a second bearing member, which has a bearing recess provided with a second slide face; a first bearing member, which is lodged in the bearing recess and which is mounted axially and/or radially, the first bearing member having a first slide face, which is opposite the second slide face and spaced therefrom by a clearance; at least one sliding/guiding element, which is disposed between the first and the second bearing members and fixed in relation to one bearing member, for guidance of a motion of the first relative to the second bearing member; an equalizing compound, which is disposed between the at least one sliding/guiding element and the bearing member relative to which is fixed the at least one sliding/guiding element, for adaptation of the guide clearance between the at least one sliding/guiding element and the slide face that is displaceable in relation thereto, the equalizing compound being solid in the operating state of the sliding bearing and free-flowing prior thereto.
