Abstract
A slide bearing for supporting a shaft and comprising at least one bearing shell for receiving the shaft. The bearing shell and the surface of the shaft define a bearing gap. Also described is a mechanism for supplying a lubricant to the bearing gap so that the lubricant can be removed therefrom. To compensate for negative effects of a temperature-dependent change of the bearing gap, there is provided at least one throttling element for throttling the flow of lubricant through the bearing gap.
