Abstract
The invention relates to a method for producing components of a tilting-pad bearing (), wherein: the tilting-pad bearing () has an outer ring () and multiple tilting pads () preferably arranged at regular angular intervals about a longitudinal axis () of the outer ring (); the tilting pads () are pivotably mounted with an outer surface () about a pitch line () on an inner surface () of the outer ring (); and a blank () in the form a cylinder portion () having a constant wall thickness is used to produce the tilting pads () from a tilting pad ring () or to produce the outer ring (). The invention is characterised in that: a radial force (F) acting in the direction of the longitudinal axis () is applied to the cylinder portion () at multiple clamping points () in the region of its outer periphery (), said radial forces (F) elastically deforming the cylinder portion (); an inner bore () having a round cross-section is subsequently produced on the inner surface () of the elastically deformed cylinder portion (); and subsequently the radial clamping of the cylinder portion () is stopped.
