Abstract: A tilting segment (3, 3?) for a tilting segment sliding bearing (1, 1?) has a segment body (13, 13?) for receiving bearing forces. The segment body (13, 13?) is made of a fiber-reinforced composite material. The composite material includes a polyether ketone and carbon fibers that function as reinforcement fibers. The carbon fibers make up 25 wt. % to 70 wt. % of the fiber-reinforced composite material. Additionally, the carbon fibers form a fabric. The fabric has a contour that has an orientation that is parallel to a sliding surface (8, 18) of the segment body (13, 13?).

Abstract: The invention relates to a tilting segment (3, 3?) for a tilting segment sliding bearing (1, 1?) having a segment body (13, 13?) for receiving bearing forces, wherein the segment body (13, 13?) is made of a fiber-reinforced composite material. The invention is characterized in that the composite material comprises a polyether ketone, that the composite material has carbon fibers having a weight proportion of 25% to 70% as reinforcement fibers, and that the carbon fibers form a fabric that has a contour-parallel orientation to the sliding surface (8, 18) of the segment body (13, 13?).
