A bearing including a sidewall including a substrate and a low friction material extending along at least one of a radially inner surface or a radially outer surface of the sidewall, the sidewall further including: a body defining a bore about a central axis; and a flange contiguous with and extending from an axial end of the body, where the flange includes a folded over outermost peripheral edge, where the substrate has a reduced thickness at the outermost peripheral edge, the flange being configured such that the substrate is not exposed along the outermost peripheral edge.

Flanged bearing, assembly, and method of making and using the same

A bearing including a sidewall including an open metal substrate at least partially embedded in a low friction material, the sidewall further including a generally cylindrical body; and a flange contiguous with and extending from an axial end of the generally cylindrical body, where at least one of 1) the flange includes a multiple wall construction including a plurality of flange sidewalls in contact with each other along at least 25% of a radial length of the flange, or 2) the sidewall or the flange comprises an outward conductive region and an inward conductive region.

A bearing including a substrate layer including an aluminum alloy including a thickness, T, where T&#x2264;0.6 mm; an adhesive layer; and a low friction material layer overlying the adhesive layer, where the bearing includes an elongation at break, A, of &#x2265;23%.

Bearing, assembly, and method of making and using the same

A bearing including a generally cylindrical sidewall including an electrically conductive substrate, and an electrically non-conductive or low-conductive sliding layer coupled to the substrate, where the generally cylindrical sidewall includes a plurality of protrusions protruding radially inward or radially outward from a bore defining a central axis, where at least one protrusion is adapted to contact an opposing component such that at a point of contact the bearing has a void area free of sliding layer so as to provide electrical conductivity between the bearing and the opposing component, and wherein at least one protrusion has a spring rate of not greater than 30 kN/mm, such as not greater than 25 kN/mm, such as not greater than 15 kN/mm, or such as not greater than 10 kN/mm.

Electrically conductive bearings

A bearing including a substrate and a low friction layer, where the bearing includes an annular shape including a radial bearing portion in the form of an axially-extending base region, and an axial bearing portion in the form of a radially-extending flange, where the axial bearing portion terminates in a deep drawn axially extending lip, and at least one of a radial coining region or an axial coining region, where the radial coining region is positioned along the radially-extending flange and forms an annular depression, where the axial coining region is positioned along the axially-extending base region, and where the axial coining region is deformed so as to be non-parallel to a longitudinal axis of the bearing.

Bearing, hinge assemblies, and method of making and using the same

A bearing component including a substrate; a sliding layer overlying the substrate; and a metal mesh comprising filaments embedded in the sliding layer, the metal mesh having a woven structure such that the filaments overlap each other at intersections, where a plurality of intersections include a first filament overlying a second filament, the first filament being mechanically so as to interlock with the second filament.

Bearing component and method of making and using the same

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.

Maintenance-free bearing with tolerance compensation properties against wear and misalignment

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.

System, method and apparatus for tolerance ring with functional layers

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.
