Abstract:
A sliding bearing having a sealing arrangement for water pumps, configured to radially mount and seal a shaft in a housing between a wet side and a dry side. The sliding bearing and the sealing arrangement include a sliding bearing bushing made of a sintering material for radial mounting of the shaft, and a dry-side shaft seal arranged between the sliding bearing bushing and the dry side. A wet-side shaft seal is arranged between the wet side and the sliding bearing bushing and a lubricant reservoir with a substrate, made of a non-sintered material, which is porous in at least some sections, is arranged at least between the wet-side shaft seal and the sliding bearing bushing. The lubricant reservoir includes, in pores of the substrate, a lubricant insoluble in water. A volume of the lubricant reservoir and a volume of a lubricant filling take up a total volume of spaces between the wet-side shaft seal and the dry-side shaft seal.
