Provided is a slide bearing of lower cost that is capable of preventing the intrusion of dust, muddy water, etc. and has good sliding performance. In a ring-shaped space (5) formed by assembling an upper case (2) with a lower case, a ring-shaped outer dust seal part (42), which bends with one end (420) contacting the upper case (2) and the other end (421) contacting the lower case, is disposed on the outside of a ring-shaped thrust bearing part (40), and the outer dust seal part (42) is connected to the thrust bearing part (40) by connecting parts (43) that extend radially outward from the outside of the thrust bearing part (40), integrating the two as a dust seal-integrated center plate (4). Disposed between the thrust bearing part (40) and the upper case (2) is a ring-shaped lubrication sheet (6), which has surfaces (62, 63) that slide on the mating surfaces facing same.

A process for the manufacturing of self-lubricating elements such as bearings, plates, bushings and the like with composites obtained by impregnating special synthetic fabrics with thermosetting resins, catalyst and nano graphite and/or molybdenum disulfide nano and/or nano PTFE and/or nanoboron nitride, each of these, or other nanometric lubricants, added according to the tribological applications and requirements of the product.

A heat transfer system is disclosed that includes a circulation loop of a heat transfer fluid that comprises a halocarbon. The circulation loop includes a compressor or pump that includes bearing rolling surfaces in contact with the heat transfer fluid. The bearing contact surface has a substrate a layer thereon that includes a polymer or oligomer having polar side groups and a tribofilm.

A slide bearing for a support mount of a motor vehicle includes a first housing part, a second housing part, and a slide bearing device arranged between the two housing parts. In embodiments, the slide bearing device includes at least a first slide body and at least a second slide body. With embodiments, at least a section of the first slide body is made of a hybrid material. A method of producing a slide body and a method of producing a slide bearing are also disclosed.

An adhesive layer can include a polymer blend of a first polymer and a second polymer. In an embodiment, the first polymer can be a modified fluoropolymer. In another embodiment, the second can be a non-fluorinated polymer. In a particular embodiment, the adhesive layer can include greater than 60 wt. % of the first polymer for the total weight of the polymer blend. A bearing can include the adhesive layer disposed over a substrate.

A plain bearing assembly (1) includes a rail and a carriage (20). The rail has a rail body (10) elongate in a longitudinal direction, and on one transverse side of there is a cylindrical guide portion (11). The carriage (20) includes a carriage body with a cylindrical passage (22) corresponding to the guide portion (11) to receive the guide portion (11). The inner side of the passage (22), with which, in an operating state of the plain bearing assembly, the carriage (20) rests slidingly in the longitudinal direction against the guide portion (11), is formed by a sliding element made from a sliding material. The sliding element is produced jointly with the carriage body as a one-piece carriage part made of plastics material.

A sealing device for a bearing unit that includes an inner ring, an outer ring, a plurality of rolling bodies interposed between the inner ring and the outer ring, the sealing device having a radially outer anchoring portion, an intermediate portion, and a radially inner sealing portion distal to the radially outer anchoring portion, the sealing device being made of a single polymer plastic material.

A bearing laminate can include a metal support layer, a foam layer overlying the metal support layer, the foam layer including a polymeric foam; and a sliding layer overlying the polymeric foam layer, the sliding layer comprising a polymer matrix. Bearing articles made from the bearing laminate can have exceptional damping properties, such as a high damping ratio combined with a low dynamic stiffness.

An outer casing for a control cable 10 has an inner tube 12, which includes a crystalline resin, and an outer tube 14, which includes an outer resin layer 16 covering the outer periphery of the inner tube and, in the outer resin layer, includes plural metal wires 18 buried in parallel with the axial direction of the inner tube and at equal intervals in the circumferential direction of the inner tube.
