Abstract

Elastic bearing comprising an inner bushing and an outer bushing located at some distance from it, and an elastic part inserted between them, whereby between the elastic part and at least one surface of one of the bushings, there is lubricant in a cavity, the bushings and elastic part being rotatable relative to one another. To increase the useful life and to guarantee correct lubrication, in the cavity the elastic part has elevations on its surface, which are arranged to guarantee a proper distribution of the lubricant.
