Abstract
A bearing for an exhaust gas turbocharger may include an annular body and a centrally arranged passage opening for bearing a shaft at least one of axially and radially with respect to a rotation axis. The body may include an oil pocket, a wedge surface extending at least partially in a circumferential direction, and a detent surface circumferentially spaced from the oil pocket via the wedge surface. The detent surface may include a predetermined wear height configured to be worn down over an operating lifespan of the bearing. A radially inner flange may extend at least partially along the wedge surface in the circumferential direction and define an inner sealing web. A radially outer flange may extend at least partially along the wedge surface in the circumferential direction and define an outer sealing web.
