A bushing assembly is configured for a vehicle transmission shift shaft, the shift shaft having a first diameter, a shift lever fixedly mounted to an end thereof, and a step defining a second diameter smaller than the first diameter along a length thereof. The bushing assembly includes a seal, a spacer, such as a spacer sleeve, and a bushing. The seal is positioned on the shaft abutting the shift lever, the spacer is positioned on the shaft abutting the seal, and the bushing is positioned over the spacer. A kit for replacement of an OE bushing and a method to replace a bushing are also disclosed.

A bushing for a stator vane assembly of a gas turbine engine has a tubular member that is coaxial about a longitudinal axis and that extends a length between a first axial end and a second axial end. The tubular member has an outside circumferential surface thereon and an inside circumferential surface therein and is manufactured from a cobalt based alloy, a nickel based alloy, a graphite material, a cermet material or an alloy matrix comprising titanium, aluminum, niobium, manganese, boron, and carbon and a solid lubricant being dispersed in the alloy matrix. A portion of the inside circumferential surface and/or a portion of the outside circumferential surface has a wear resistant material thereon.

An electromagnetic actuating device. The device includes an electromagnetic coil including a central recess extending in an axial direction, a cylindrical pole tube inserted into the central recess and provided with a magnetic separation point, an armature situated displaceably in the pole tube, the armature being movable by an actuation of the electromagnetic coil, the armature being mounted in the pole tube in a sleeve-shaped bearing foil inserted into the pole tube, the bearing foil including an inner side facing toward the armature and used as a sliding surface and an outer side facing toward the cylindrical pole tube. It is provided that the bearing foil is coated at least on the inner side using a first layer made of perfluoroalkoxy polymer. A manufacturing method for such an electromagnetic actuating device is also described.

Disclosed herein is a rack bush for vehicle steering apparatus, which includes a bush body having an outer peripheral surface that is in contact with an inner surface of a rack housing and an inner peripheral surface that is in contact with a rack bar, the bush body being configured to guide longitudinal movement of the rack bar, the bush body including a large diameter portion and a small diameter portion, a plurality of slits arranged on the bush body in a circumferential direction thereof, and a damper mounted to the bush body and configured to absorb an impact occurring between the rack bar and the bush body.

A bearing assembly for a door linkage. The bearing assembly is placed about a shaft which runs through a central opening in an arm, and the arm rotates about the shaft. The bearing assembly comprises a central composition bushing, a boss which is rotationally locked with the arm, and a plate. The central opening is large enough such that all the elements of the bearing assembly can be removed without disassembling the arm. The plate retains the elements of the bearing assembly in place when the arm is in use. The plate may also provide torque transmission between the boss and the arm.
