A wear resistant bearing system includes an inner member that has an internal core and a bearing surface which has a 50 Rockwell C scale hardness or greater. The inner member has a chemical composition that is uniform throughout the internal core and the bearings surface. The wear resistant bearing system includes an outer member that partially surrounds the inner member and includes a receiving surface that has liner system adhered thereto. The liner system includes a wear resistant matrix that has one or more reinforcing fiber systems and has one or more lubricative fibers system dispersed in the wear resistant matrix. The liner system has a wear surface that has portions of both the reinforcing fiber system and the lubricative fiber system. The wear surface is continuous.

A linear guide mechanism includes a housing having an inside housing surface that defines a bore extending through the housing coaxial with a longitudinal axis. A shaft is disposed at least partially in the bore and is reciprocatably and linearly moveable in the bore along the longitudinal axis. The shaft has an exterior shaft surface. A self-lubricating liner is disposed in the bore between the inside housing surface and the exterior shaft surface. The self-lubricating liner has an inside liner surface that is in sliding engagement with the exterior shaft surface of the shaft. The self-lubricating liner has an exterior liner surface.

A joint bushing that accommodates the dithering and sliding in multi segment wind turbines. The joint bushing includes a self-lubricating liner that is a composite system incorporating woven Polytetrafluoroethylene fibers intermixed with structural reinforcement fibers in a composite matrix. The composite system provides sufficient life without requiring relubrication.
