Abstract
A plain bearing includes a base body having a substantially cylindrical bore bounded by a bore surface, and the bore surface has a longitudinal recess in a load-zone region that is open radially inward and has curved ends connected by axially extending sides. A cylindrical shaft extends through the bore and over the load zone and has an outer diameter less than an inner diameter of the bore. A fluid channel has an opening in the recess and provides fluid to the recess at a pressure that is maintained at a level to offset no more than about 40 percent of a force produced by the shaft in the direction of the load zone.
