Abstract
A plastic rocker pendulum is provided with a rod-shaped basic body () and mounting elements () arranged at the free ends of the basic body () for the ball heads of ball pins. The cross section of the basic body () has an essentially S-shaped design with at least three crossbars () arranged in parallel at spaced locations from one another and connection webs () coupling two adjacent crossbars () each. The connection webs () are arranged at opposite end areas of the crossbars (). The geometrical moment of inertia can be substantially increased compared to conventional cross sections due to this cross section shape.
