Abstract
A plastic bearing consisting of an elastically deformable material for stabilizers in motor vehicles of a one-part design, slotted on one side in an axial plane, which can be opened for mounting, with an inner contact surface (6), which is slidingly movable on the jacket surface of the stabilizer and is delimited by sealing lip rings (19) at the axial ends, on which pockets (7) filled with a lubricant are provided between radially extending beads (20) and longitudinal ribs (21) extending axially between them, and which plastic bearing can be mounted in a housing under pretension. In order for such a plastic bearing to uncouple vibrations, on the one hand, and rotary and sliding movements, on the other hand, in the stabilizer as optimally as possible, the ratio of the diameter (DS) of the stabilizer (1) to the diameter (DV) of the radial beads (20) is inversely proportional to the ratio of the diameter (DS) of the stabilizer (1) to the diameter (DL) of the longitudinal ribs (21), and sealing lip rings (19) of a special dimension are provided at both axial ends of the contact surface.
