Abstract

The invention relates to a method for the production of a flange sleeve especially for a sliding bearing. A strip of material is cut into lengths corresponding to the later periphery of the flange sleeve. The strip section thus arising is rolled to form a hollow cylindrical sleeve with an open butt joint and a collar is placed around one or two sides. The open butt joint is expanded in the region of the collar to form a V-shaped slit. One or several recesses are made in the region of the later open butt joint on one or two of the longitudinal edges of the strip section.
