The invention relates to an axial bearing () comprising at least one or more segments () on each of the front side () and the rear side () thereof, wherein the segments () on the opposite sides () each are disposed at least partially offset from each other.

Thrust bearing, especially for a turbocharger

A method for producing a lubricant feed in an axial bearing, wherein the lubricant feed is designed as a channel guiding lubricant from a lubricant pocket of the axial bearing, includes the following steps: preparing an initial axial bearing mold, stamping a groove in the area of the initial mold in which the channel is planned; embossing and putting through material on at least one or both sides of the groove along at least one segment of the groove; stamping the material on the side of the groove toward the groove so that the material and the groove form the channel.
