Abstract

In a bearing bushing for universal joint pins, a thrust washer on the bottom of the bearing bushing has a contact surface for a plurality of cylindrical rollers and for a universal joint pin. The thrust washer has a number of recesses on the side facing away from the cylindrical rollers which are distributed around the periphery and which extend from the lateral surface in a radial direction approximately over the length of the contact surface for the cylindrical rollers. Two adjacent recesses form a projection between them in each case.
