Abstract

The invention relates to a radial ball joint which consists of a substantially cylindrical inner sleeve (1) having a spherical bearing surface (5), a bearing shell (2) that at least partially surrounds the bearing surface (5) and that is received in a recess of a joint housing (3), and two flexible sealing sleeves (6,7) which are interposed between the bearing shell (2) and the exterior of the inner sleeve (1) at opposite ends and seal the gap between the bearing shell (2) and the bearing surface (5) accommodated therein. The sealing sleeves (6, 7) and the bearing shell (2) are configured as a one-piece structure that is produced from different materials, adapted to the respective requirements of use. Such a structure can be produced and assembled with little effort while significantly increasing the sealing properties of the radial ball joint.
