The bearing shells are spaced apart within the same plane with their axes disposed in parallel relation so that an open space is provided between their facing surfaces. A plurality of belt strands are wrapped around the surfaces of both bearing shells with adjacent strands disposed in spaced relation. Flat plates are positioned between adjacent strands and extend between the bearing shells. Thrust pieces are located between the plates and contact the plates and the facing surfaces of the bearing shells. The belt strands, plates and thrust pieces are formed of fiber-reinforced plastics material.
