A movable member is made from a relatively hard material and is provided with a first surface. A bearing liner is attached to the first surface and is provided with relatively thin, hard and incompressible characteristics. A stationary member made from a harder material than the movable member is provided with a bearing surface which is polished and which abuts the bearing liner. Means retain the movable and stationary members in an optimal bearing relationship. The movable and stationary member...

Bearing for holding a rotating shaft or similar device, including a housing in which the elements supporting the shaft are contained and which at one end an opening has been made which can be brought into contact with a system for supplying a lubricant in the form of a grease, and which terminates inside the housing in a space on one side of the supporting elements and in which, at the other end, a second opening closed by a removable closure has been made which terminates inside the housing in ...

A movable member made from a relatively hard material is provided with a first surface. A bearing liner provided with relatively thin, hard and incompressible characteristics is attached to the first surface. A stationary member made from a harder material than the movable member is provided with a polished bearing surface which abuts the bearing liner. Means retain the members in an optimal bearing relationship. The members may be annular and may have a nested relationship. The retaining means ...

A sleeve-type bearing includes an outer sleeve, an inner sleeve, and an oscillation-damping material fixedly disposed between the outer and inner sleeves. It is preferable that such a bearing is used to support a crankshaft of an automotive engine.

This invention is a bearing tube for a marine propeller shaft, and a method of making such a tube according to which polyacrylonitrile or other fibres (8) carrying a sticky resin (7) are wound onto a mandrel (5) and, at least at the bearing lining, wear resistant powder (6) or other compound is included with the fibres and resin to improve the properties of the bearing lining. Such a bearing tube including essentially a resin impregnated polyacrylonitrile fibres and the wear resistant compound c...

A bearing is described for use with a disc harrow including means for preventing dust from entering the interior thereof. The bearing comprises inner and outer bearing rings having a plurality of spaced apart ball bearings mounted therebetween. First and second ring shaped seals are positioned between the inner and outer bearing rings at the opposite sides thereof. First and second ringshaped shroud caps embrace the first and second seals, respectively, for maintaining the seals in position. A s...

A bearing comprising a shaft and a bush one of which forms a rotatable bearing member. A chamber for a lubricant is situated in the rotatable bearing member and the lubricant is forced to the bearing gap under the influence of centrifugal force. The part of the storage chamber facing the center line of the shaft is in open communication with the outside of the bearing so as to prevent negative pressure in the storage chamber when lubricant is transported to the bearing gap.

A bearing arrangement for a shaft or a rotor comprising a main bearing and lubricated safety journal bearing, in which the safety journal bearing comprises a revolving journal member integral with the shaft or rotor and a bearing member mounted with radial play in a stationary support and centered therein by the pressure in a chamber formed by parts of the bearing member and support and sealed by joints which provide the tightness of the radial play while allowing the bearing member to move radi...

A bearing comprises a ball-race received in a sliding element, the sliding element and an armature being located within a casing. The armature and the sliding element are adapted to allow the ball-race to move axially along a shaft passing through it and angularly about its centre. The casing may comprise two symmetrical portions defining an internal cylindrical guide surface on which the cylindrical armature can slide, the sliding element comprising two cups with part-spherical internal faces o...

A bearing configuration is presented wherein the races are a hard metal, such as steel, coated with a soft metal, such as silver; the bearing elements are a hard metal insoluble with the race coating material, such as stainless steel; and the retainer is a polymeric material filled with a metallic sulfide, such as MoS.sub.2, which bonds to the race coating material.
