In a plain bearing for a steering spindle of a steering column for a motor vehicle having an inner ring for receiving and slidingly mounting the steering spindle, the inner ring is surrounded by an outer ring, and elastic intermediate pieces are arranged between the inner ring and the outer ring. In preferred embodiments, weighting values are assigned to the portlet, and these values are used to determine the portlet’s relative placement. The nozzle segment is cast from a gamma prime-strengthened nickel-base superalloy, on whose surface is thermal sprayed an environmental coating formed of a MCrAlX-type coating material. The insert further includes an actuator that slidably engages with a cam that is located on the sled to impart a lateral motion to the sled as the insert is placed downward into the dock’s base unit so as to align the device connector on the sled with the opening in the insert.
