Sliding bearing shell comprising a collecting groove

A plain bearing shell in form of half shell which covers an angle of about 180° with an oil bore that passes radially through the plain bearing shell to insert oil into the plain bearing shell, including at least one collector groove which extends on the inside of the plain bearing shell in a circumferential direction for collecting oil located in the plain bearing shell, which is closed and completely surrounded on all sides by a load-bearing surface, and including a distributor groove extending on the inside of the plain bearing shell primarily in the circumferential direction of the plain bearing shell for distributing the inserted oil inside the plain bearing shell, whereby the oil bore leads into the distributor groove.
