A screw-spindle pump includes: a first (drive) screw spindle and a second (running) screw spindle that runs oppositely with respect to the first screw spindle; and a pump housing configured to receive the first and second screw spindles. The first and second screw spindles form, together with at least the pump housing, delivery chambers, which move from a suction side of the pump to a pressure side of the pump due to a rotation of the first and second screw spindles. The pump housing has a first abutment insert for the first screw spindle and a second abutment insert for the second screw spindle, and at least one of the first and second abutment inserts is set angled with respect to a first plane of the pump, to counteract operationally induced crossing of the first and second screw spindles.
