SUBSTANCE: bearing arrangement for shaft consists of bearing sleeve (1) inserted into a support opening of a part of the machine or sliding element of a journal bearing; also, at least in an opening there are made recesses for supply and withdrawal of mediums. On its internal opening (3) directed to support and/or guiding shaft (2) bearing sleeve (1) has several recesses (6) running from end side (4) to end side (5); it also has an amount of elevations (9) on external periphery facing the opening. At least part (12, 14) of elevations (9) is made for radial and axial fixation of sleeve (1), while part of elevations (12) for axial fixation at least partly enters opening (7) at least in part enveloping the groove. Sleeve (1) can change diametre relative to its final mounting diametre at assembly and disassembly. Slot-like and spiral-like recesses at least partly are made around periphery of shaft (2) deflecting medium. Also multitude of elevations (9) is at a distance from periphery (8); elevations not fixing sleeve (1) have a cylinder shape.

EFFECT: improved cleaning and sterilisation of bearing arrangements, simplification of assembly and replacement of corresponding support elements.
