  • Radially and axially loadable bush bearing for chassis parts in motor vehicles
    Patent number: 5593233
    Abstract: The present invention pertains to a radially and axially elastic slide bush bearing for chassis parts in motor vehicles with thrust bearings between an inner pipe (1) and an outer bush (2) and with an elastomer body (4) surrounding the outer bush (2). To obtain a one-part design, a thrust bearing transmitting axial forces, consisting of a disk (8 and 9) and an abutment (10 and 11), is provided with a sealing lip (12 and 13) surrounding this thrust bearing at both axial bearing ends, wherein the thrust bearing has a smaller diameter compared with the diameter of the bearing eye in the chassis part (5) at one bearing end in the external diameter of the sealing lip (13) axially surrounding the thrust bearing.
