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

Slide bearings and methods of producing slide bearings are disclosed. The slide bearing has a metal support, an adhesive layer and a sliding layer. The adhesive layer is applied directly to the metal support. The adhesive layer comprises a blend of at least two fluoropolymers P1 and P2, wherein P1 is selected from perfluoroalkoxyethylene (PFA) or tetrafluoroethylene-hexafluoropropylene (FEP). P2 is different from P1 and can be a fluoropolymer.

Maintenance-free slide bearing with FEP or PFA in the adhesive layer

A vibration-damping plain bearing composite comprising a sliding layer, a dimensionally stable support layer and an elastic layer. In one embodiment, the dimensionally stable support layer is arranged between the sliding layer and the elastic layer; in another embodiment, the elastic layer is arranged between the sliding layer and the dimensionally stable support layer. The bearing composites are characterized that a ratio of the thickness of the elastic layer tto a thickness of the sliding layer tis at least 3.

Vibration-damping plain bearing composite and plain bearing bushing and plain bearing assembly

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.

Renewable energy source including an energy conversion structure and a bearing component

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 &#x2014;COOH and/or &#x2014;COOR, where the radicals R are cyclic or linear organic radicals having from 1 to 20 carbon atoms.

Maintenance-free plain bearing

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 &#x3bc;m to 320 &#x3bc;m, and the metallic substrate material has a yield point of less than 100 N/mm.
