Abstract:
1. A pivot bearing, comprising: a spherical bearing body; a single-piece bearing shell, the bearing shell enclosing the bearing body at least partially and creating a clearance fit between the bearing body and the bearing shell which clearance fit permits a degree of articulated freedom of the pivot bearing, the single-piece bearing shell including a radial slot based on a wall thickness of the bearing shell and having at least one contoured bulge; and at least one push-in element having a part shape corresponding to the bulge such that the part shape of the push-in element has a defined oversize with respect to the bulge of the slot, which oversize indicates a predetermined clearance fit between the bearing body and the bearing shell that defines a bearing play when the push-in element is mounted in the slot.
