An inner sliding surface for a radial plain bearing, including four circle arcs in at least one cross section. A first arc and a second arc of the four circle arcs lie on different sides of a longitudinal sectional plane which intersects a third arc of the four circle arcs, a fourth arc of the four circle arcs and a common center point of the third arc and the fourth arc. The first arc and a center point of the first arc lie on different sides of the longitudinal sectional plane, and the second arc and a center point of the second arc lie on different sides of the longitudinal sectional plane.

Non-circular sliding surface

A gear assembly includes a planetary gear set having a sun gear, planet gears, and a ring gear. The planet gears are respectively rotatably mounted by a bearing on a respective planetary pin. The respective planetary pin is connected to a planetary carrier. Tilting pads arranged radially circumferentially with respect to the planetary pin are provided on sides of the planetary carrier facing the planet gears. The planetary carrier has, on sides facing the planet gears, recesses arranged radially circumferentially with respect to the planetary pin and corresponding to the tilting pads. The recesses are configured to receive at least part of the tilting pads.
