A plain bearing sleeve includes an inner diameter, a sleeve length greater than the inner diameter, an outer diameter, and a wall thickness smaller than 8% of the inner diameter. A sleeve blank includes a longitudinal axis, an outer surface, an inner surface, a first end face, a second end face opposite the first end face, and at least three threaded holes arranged on the first end face. A method for producing the plain bearing sleeve includes clamping the outer surface at the first end face for rotation, machining the inner surface to the inner diameter, fixing the first end face at the at least three threaded holes for rotation, machining the outer surface to the outer diameter, clamping the inner surface at the second end face for rotation, and cutting a ring with the first end face and the at least three threaded holes from the sleeve blank.
