A collar bearing comprising a bearing shell and at least one thrust washer, whereby the at least one thrust washer is fixed on an outer convex circumferential surface of the bearing shell to define a joint site that extends between the convex outer circumferential surface of the bearing shell and a concave inner circumferential surface of the thrust washer, the at least one thrust washer being welded along a weld seam to the bearing shell such that the weld seam extends axially between an outer thrust facing and an opposite inner surface of the at least one thrust washer, and the weld seam extends over only a part of the joint site.

Welded collar bearing method for producing welded collar bearings and a device for carrying out said method

The invention relates to a collar bearing split shell, comprising a bearing shell and two thrust washers which are located on said bearing shell. The invention also relates to a collar bearing comprising two collar bearing split shells, each of which has a bearing shell, at least one bearing shell being provided with two thrust washers located on said bearing shell. The invention also relates to a thrust washer for a collar bearing split shell. The aim of the invention is to provide a collar bearing which ensures that the two collar bearing split shells of a collar bearing are essentially flush with each other when installed. To this end, the invention provides for a collar bearing split shell on which the ends of the two thrust washers of the bearing shell extend at least partially beyond the semi-circle-shaped bearing shell in the peripheral direction; or a generic collar bearing on which the ends of the two thrust washers of at least on bearing shell extend at least partially beyond the semi-circle-shaped bearing shell in the peripheral direction. A thrust washer which is configured as a ring segment and which extends through an angle of more than 180&#xb0; and a bearing shell, forming a combined collar bearing, also solve the problem addressed by the invention.
