Mellanlager för en drivaxel på ett motorfordon

摘要

An intermediate bearing for a driveline of a commercial vehicle has a housing ( 7 ) with a stirrup-shaped cross-section. The housing ( 7 ) has a fixing face ( 12 ) formed of two straight portions ( 8, 9 ) and a first arched portion ( 10 ). A bearing member ( 15 ) is arranged between the portions ( 8, 9, 10 ). The bearing member ( 15 ) is rubber and is connected to the fixing face ( 12 ) by vulcanization. A locking element ( 23 ) bridges the space between the two straight portions ( 8, 9 ). The locking member ( 23 ) is attached to the bearing member ( 15 ). The bearing member ( 15 ) encloses a supporting ring ( 16 ) which serves to receive a rolling contact bearing. The locking element ( 23 ) is adjustable for the purpose of setting a pre-tension of the bearing member ( 15 ) towards the longitudinal axis ( 18 ) of the bore ( 17 ) of the supporting ring ( 16 ). The locking element ( 23 ) can be connected to the housing ( 7 ) after the required pre-tension has been set.
