Abstract

A method for producing a housing-side or rotor-side bearing body of a sliding bearing arrangement for mounting a rotating shaft of a rotor in a fixed housing. Providing a basic body of the bearing body. Processing the basic body on a surface by forming multiple intersecting grooves, between the intersecting grooves multiple bar-like protrusions are formed. Reforming the protrusions subject-to form a defined pattern of undercut-like recesses or geometries. Applying a sliding bearing material to the surface having the reformed protrusions subject to infiltrating or filling the undercut-like recesses or geometries.

Claims (23)

1. A method for producing a housing-side or rotor-side bearing body of a sliding bearing arrangement, comprising:

providing a basic body of the bearing body;

processing the basic body on a surface by forming multiple first and second intersecting grooves, wherein between the multiple first and second intersecting grooves multiple protrusions are formed;

reforming the protrusions to form a defined pattern of undercut recesses or geometries; and

applying a sliding bearing material to the surface with the reformed protrusions subject to infiltrating or filling-out the undercut recesses or geometries.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the multiple first intersecting grooves run perpendicularly to the multiple second intersecting grooves.

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the reforming of the protrusions is effected by bending.

4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the protrusions in alternation of columns and/or rows are bent from the protrusions in different directions.

5. The method according to claim 4 , wherein the protrusions in alternation of the columns and/or rows are bent from the protrusions in opposite directions.

6. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the basic body is a metallic material.

7. The method according to claim 1 , wherein a thermoplastic sliding bearing material is applied to the surface with the reformed protrusions as the sliding bearing material.

8. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the bearing body is configured to mount a rotating shaft of a rotor in a fixed housing.

9. A bearing body of a sliding bearing arrangement, comprising:

a basic body;

first and second intersecting grooves formed on a surface of the basic body;

multiple protrusions defined by the first and second intersecting grooves, wherein the protrusions are reformed to form a defined pattern of undercut recesses or geometries; and

a sliding bearing material applied to the surface with the reformed protrusions subject to infiltrating or filling-out the undercut recesses or geometries.

10. The bearing body according to claim 9 , wherein the bearing body is configured to mount a rotating shaft of a rotor in a fixed housing.

11. A bearing body formed by:

providing a basic body of the bearing body;

processing the basic body on a surface by forming multiple first and second intersecting grooves, wherein between the multiple first and second intersecting grooves multiple protrusions are formed;

reforming the protrusions to form a defined pattern of undercut recesses or geometries; and

applying a sliding bearing material to the surface with the reformed protrusions subject to infiltrating or filling-out the undercut recesses or geometries.
