A hydrodynamic plain bearing is provided and includes a raceway which is
rotatable about an axis of rotation and which is mounted in the axial
direction on a plurality of carrying segments (12). A lubricating oil
film is formed between the raceway and the carrying segments (12) in a
bearing gap. In such a plain bearing, a circulation of the lubricating
oil is brought about in a simple way in that the plain bearing is
equipped with an integrated pumping device (15) for pumping the
lubricating oil around in a circuit.
