A lubricated plain bearing having at least one dirt guide groove formed on the sliding surface, 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 of a shaft mounted therein, extends as far as an edge of the bearing and is open at the edge, such that dirt particles transported by the dirt guide groove to the edge can be discharged to the outside.

Dirt grooves in lubricated sliding bearings

A plain bearing having a depository surface which has at least one depository and which is a sliding surface and/or a surface of an oil supply groove, wherein the depository is a cutout which is open in the direction of the depository surface and which has a depository a wall and which extends away from the depository surface into the bearing, wherein the depository wall, in the direction of extent, forms an acute angle with a reference direction, wherein the reference direction is the tangent to the depository surface at the point at which the depository wall intersects the depository surface in the direction away from the depository.
