Abstract
A slide-articulation bearing for supporting a shaft, in particular for tiltable converters, has a circular-cylindrical sliding face forming a unit with the shaft, sliding elements held by a cage contacting the sliding face, and an outer race with a spherical inner face for accommodating wobbling movements of the shaft. The cage is provided with radially directed recesses that are open towards the cage inner and outer sides, the sliding elements being inserted therein so as to project out of the recesses. The sliding elements have outwardly projecting ends provided with spherical outer faces that contact and cooperate with the spherical inner face of the outer race.
