Abstract
A plain bearing bushing is formed from a material strip, wherein a first joining end of the material strip has a projection and a second joining end has a recess interacting with the projection, a base side of the projection being oriented towards the first joining end. A bushing is to be provided that is designed to be more advantageous with respect to the production method, in particular during the forming process, and with respect to dimensional tolerance and long-term stability. This is achieved by a bushing with clamping elements in which the joining ends of the material strip are fixed both in axial direction and in circumferential direction of the bushing in a frictionally engaged and/or formfitting manner.
