Abstract:
Method for manufacturing a sleeve bearing with a sleeve-shaped elastomeric spring between an outer connecting a bearing strap and an inner connecting sleeve coaxial thereto or an inner connecting bolt, characterized by the following method steps:(A) starting the manufacture of the elastomeric spring as an elastomeric molding, elastomer/metal molding or elastomer/plastic molding in a vulcanizing die mold; (B) removing the molding from the mold when it is cross-linked so as to be free of bubbles and before it is fully and completely vulcanized so that the molding has free vulcanization valances; (C) pretreating surfaces of connecting parts to be connected to the molding with an adhesive; (D) pushing the molding onto an inner connecting part and inserting the molding into an outer connecting part and clamping the molding under moderate prestress between the inner and outer connecting parts; and (E) completing the vulcanization of the elastomeric spring molding, which is under prestress, to become part of the sleeve bearing.
