Abstract

See full text

The invention relates to a method for determining the protrusion of bearing shells, comprising the following steps: a) clamping a bearing shell at several bearing points; b) applying one or more test forces to at least one point of the bearing shell so that the bearing shell is elastically deformed; c) measuring the deformation of the bearing shell at one or more measuring points of the bearing shell; d) determining the protrusion from the measured deformation. The invention further relates to a device for determining the protrusion of bearing shells, comprising a clamping device, which is suitable for clamping a bearing shell at one or more bearing points, one or more deformation apparatuses, which are suitable for applying one or more test forces to at least one point of the bearing shell, one or more measuring devices, which can measure the deformation of the bearing shell at one or more points when one or more test forces are applied by the deformation apparatus to at least one point of the bearing shell in such a way that the bearing shell is elastically deformed, and an apparatus for determining the protrusion, which can determine the protrusion of the bearing shell from the measured deformation of the bearing shell.
