Abstract
The disclosure relates to a bearing arrangement for a bearing end of a fastening shackle in a vehicle body of a vehicle that includes an outer sleeve, an inner sleeve and a sleeve-shaped plastic sliding bearing. The inner sleeve is mounted in the outer sleeve so that the inner sleeve is able to slide. The sleeve-shaped plastic sliding bearing surrounds the inner sleeve and is connected to the inner sleeve in a rotationally fixed manner. The sleeve-shaped plastic sliding bearing is also longer than the outer sleeve and is delimited by a first sleeve rim that protrudes beyond the outer sleeve, where the first sleeve rim is configurable to be form-locked and to resist rotation.
Claims19
A bearing arrangement in a vehicle body of a vehicle, comprising:
- an outer sleeve;
- an inner sleeve mounted in the outer sleeve and configured to slide relative to the outer sleeve;
- a sleeve-shaped plastic sliding bearing that surrounds the inner sleeve and is connected to the inner sleeve in a rotationally fixed manner, wherein the sleeve-shaped plastic sliding bearing is longer than the outer sleeve and is delimited by a first sleeve rim that protrudes beyond the outer sleeve, and wherein the first sleeve rim is configured to be form-locked and to resist rotation;
- and
- a bearing end plate, wherein an opening of the bearing end plate is configured to introduce the first sleeve rim into the opening of the bearing end plate with a form fit, and wherein the opening of the bearing end plate is further configured to hold the first sleeve rim in a form-fitting and non-rotatable manner.
A fastening arrangement for a motor vehicle, comprising:
- a fastening shackle that has a bearing end;
- and
- a bearing arrangement comprising:
- an outer sleeve;
- an inner sleeve mounted in the outer sleeve and configured to slide within the outer sleeve;
- a sleeve-shaped plastic sliding bearing that surrounds the inner sleeve and is connected to the inner sleeve in a rotationally fixed manner, wherein the sleeve-shaped plastic sliding bearing is longer than the outer sleeve and is delimited by a first sleeve rim that protrudes beyond the outer sleeve, and wherein the first sleeve rim is configured to be form-locked and to resist rotation;
- and
- a bearing end plate, wherein an opening of the bearing end plate is configured to introduce the first sleeve rim into the opening of the bearing end plate with a form fit, and wherein the opening of the bearing end plate is further configured to hold the first sleeve rim in a form-fitting and non-rotatable manner.
A method for producing a bearing arrangement in a vehicle body of a vehicle, comprising:
- providing an outer sleeve and an inner sleeve, the inner sleeve being longer than the outer sleeve;
- injection-molding a plastic sliding bearing onto the inner sleeve in order to obtain a sleeve-shaped plastic sliding bearing, wherein the sleeve-shaped plastic sliding bearing surrounds the inner sleeve, is connected to the inner sleeve in a rotationally fixed manner, is configured to slide relative to the outer sleeve, is longer than the outer sleeve, and is delimited by a first sleeve rim that protrudes beyond the outer sleeve;
- shaping the first sleeve rim to be form-locked and to resist rotation;
- providing a bearing end plate;
- and
- introducing the first sleeve rim into an opening of the bearing end plate with a form fit, wherein the opening of the bearing end plate is configured to hold the first sleeve rim in a form-fitting and non-rotatable manner.
