Abstract

A self-aligning bearing, wherein the bearing has an elastic plastic outer layer for engaging a bearing seat, so that it can be tilted. In order to ensure the alignment in a large range, elastically bendable substantially radially directed projections are formed on the plastic outer surface, and are supported on the radial surface of the bearing seat.
