Abstract:
1. A method of producing a spherical joint ( 1 ) with a spherical sleeve ( 3 ) having a spherical bearing area ( 16 ) and provided with a through-going assembly opening that extends in an axial direction ( 4 ) which, by virtue of the bearing area ( 16 ), is mounted and able to move by sliding in a spherical shell ( 2 ) and, together with the spherical shell, is arranged in an outer sleeve ( 7 ) in such a manner that the spherical sleeve ( 3 ) extends, in an axial direction ( 4 ), out from opposite axial sides of the outer sleeve ( 7 ), the method comprising steps of: mounting the spherical shell onto the spherical sleeve to form an assembly; arranging the assembly into the outer sleeve such that an empty intermediate space is formed between the spherical shell and the outer sleeve; injecting a liquid hardenable material into the empty intermediate space ( hardening the liquid hardenable material to form a solid body and join the assembly formed of the spherical sleeve (
