Axial-radial slide bearing having polymer slide elements and corresponding slide element

The invention relates to an axial-radial slide bearing (10) having polymer slide elements (20). The slide bearing comprises a first bearing ring (11) and a second bearing ring (12), which are rotatable opposite each other about a bearing axis (A), wherein the second bearing ring forms a substantially U-shaped cross-section in order to receive the first bearing ring at least in regions. The slide elements (20) are produced from a tribopolymer and arranged between the first and second bearing ring in order to axially and radially decouple the bearing rings. The slide elements each have a substantially L-shaped cross-section, having an axial region (21) having axial slide surfaces and a radial region (22) having radial slide surfaces. According to the invention, the radial region (22) of the slide elements (20) has at least one hinge connection (23) which flexibly connects two segments (24) of the radial region so that they are movable against each other. The slide elements (20) can thus be adapted to the diameter (D) of the axial-radial slide bearing (20). The invention likewise relates to a slide bearing (20) having at least one such hinge connection (23) in the radial region (22) of the slide element (20).
