Abstract

See full text

A bearing bushing for a connecting rod and a combination of a connecting rod and a bearing bushing are provided. The connecting rod has a small end which includes a bearing bore. A first region of the bearing bore, which in operation is subjected to compressive loading, is longer than a second region of the bearing bore which is subjected to tensile loading. In order to modify a bearing bushing and a connecting rod so that with simple production and optimized weight the connecting rod has good bearing properties for the piston pin, the bearing bushing already has, before insertion thereof into the bearing bore, a shape adapted to the end edge contour of the bearing bore, wherein the first region of the bearing bushing is likewise longer than the second region thereof. A method of producing such a small end is also disclosed.
