Abstract
A deformation element, a motor vehicle fender bracket with the deformation element, and a method for producing a deformation element are provided. The deformation element serves to receive external impulses introduced into the deformation element and includes, but is not limited to at least two sleeves that are displaceable relative to one another, and a spring-elastic pressure element that is supported in each case on the at least two sleeves that are displaceable relative to one another. In this case, it is provided that at least one of the sleeves has at least one embossing that forms a sliding surface for the other sleeve. The at least one embossing is preferably introduced by electromagnetic pulse forming.
