| 20110262064 | VIBRATION-DAMPING PLAIN BEARING COMPOSITE AND PLAIN BEARING BUSHING AND PLAIN BEARING ASSEMBLY - A vibration-damping plain bearing composite comprising a sliding layer ( | 10-27-2011 |
| 20110176757 | MAINTENANCE-FREE BEARING WITH TOLERANCE COMPENSATION PROPERTIES AGAINST WEAR AND MISALIGNMENT - A system for elastically compensating for wear, thermal expansion and misalignment comprises a ring located between a housing and a pin in the bore of the housing. The ring has a backing layer, an expanded grid structure having a plurality of openings, a low friction layer penetrated into the openings of the expanded grid structure, and adhesive for bonding the backing layer, expanded grid structure and low friction layer together to provide elastic deformation of the ring between the housing and pin. | 07-21-2011 |
| 20110162685 | RENEWABLE ENERGY SOURCE INCLUDING AN ENERGY CONVERSION STRUCTURE AND A BEARING COMPONENT - A power generation structure for generating power from a renewable energy source including a base, an energy conversion structure connected to the base, and an articulating joint between the base and the energy conversion structure, the articulating joint comprising a bearing member having a body including a composite material having a rigid material and a friction-reducing material overlying the rigid material, wherein the rigid material comprises a material selected from the group of consisting of aluminum and stainless steel. | 07-07-2011 |
| 20110150377 | SYSTEM, METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR BEARINGS AND TOLERANCE RINGS WITH FUNCTIONAL LAYERS - A bearing or tolerance ring has multiple functional layers including an annular metallic band and an elastomeric layer. The tolerance ring also includes a low friction layer that is bonded to the other layers. | 06-23-2011 |
| 20110150375 | SYSTEM, METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR TOLERANCE RING WITH FUNCTIONAL LAYERS - A tolerance ring with functional layers has an annular band and an elastomeric layer. The assembly also may have a low friction layer, which may be bonded, calendared or laminated thereto. The low friction material may completely encapsulate the annular band. | 06-23-2011 |
| 20110049834 | CORROSION RESISTANT BUSHING - A method of forming a corrosion resistant bushing includes bonding a sliding layer to a first surface of a load bearing substrate to form a laminate sheet and cutting a blank from the laminate sheet. The laminate sheet includes an exposed surface corresponding to a second surface of the load bearing substrate. The blank includes cut edges having a load bearing substrate portion. The method further includes forming a semi-finished bushing from the blank, and applying a corrosion resistant coating to the exposed surface and the load bearing substrate portion of the cut edges to form the corrosion resistant bushing. | 03-03-2011 |
| 20110002565 | BEARING BUSH - The invention relates to a bearing bush ( | 01-06-2011 |
| 20100242927 | SEAL RING FOR EXHAUST GAS RECIRCULATION SYSTEM - An ring seal assembly includes a ring and a seal located within the ring. The ring has a proximal end including a major lip, a distal end including a minor lip, and a seal contacting region between the major lip and the minor lip. Additionally, the ring including an inner surface defining a central bore. Within the seal contacting region, the central bore has a radius that decreases along a direction extending from the minor lip to the major lip. The seal has a ring contacting outer portion and a shaft contacting inner portion. The ring contacting outer portion is shaped to be complementary to the inner surface of the seal contacting region of the ring. The shaft contacting inner portion is configured to contact a shaft placed within the central bore of the ring. | 09-30-2010 |
| 20100098360 | MAINTENANCE-FREE PLAIN BEARING - A maintenance-free plain bearing includes a metal support, an intermediate layer applied directly thereto and a sliding layer applied to the intermediate layer. The intermediate layer includes at least one functionalized thermoplastic polymer having functional groups of the formula | 04-22-2010 |
| 20100092119 | SPHERICAL PLAIN BEARING - A spherical plain bearing for a ball-and-socket joint includes a plain bearing shell. The plain bearing shell comprises a sliding layer containing a sliding material, at least one dimensionally stable support layer, and at least one elastic layer. | 04-15-2010 |
| 20100080497 | CALIBRATABLE PLAIN BEARING MATERIAL - A plain bearing material includes a metallic substrate material having a surface, and a sliding layer covering the surface of the substrate material. The thickness of the sliding layer is 100 μm to 320 μm, and the metallic substrate material has a yield point of less than 100 N/mm | 04-01-2010 |
