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.

A co-mouldable tube (10) includes with two rolling bearings (20) arranged along a respective axis (A) of rotation. A spacer (40) is interposed between the two rolling bearings (20) so as to give the co-mouldable tube (10) structural rigidity. A cylindrical containment sleeve (5) is co-moulded around the two rolling bearings (29) and the spacer (40). Two metal bushes (60) are interposed between the cylindrical sleeve (50) and the two rolling bearings (20) so as to be co-moulded together with the said cylindrical sleeve (50).

The present invention provides a resin composition for sliding member and a sliding member having excellent moldability and sliding properties that contains plant-derived polyethylene resin as a main component. In the resin composition for sliding member, as additives, petroleum-derived polyethylene resin of 0.1 to 20% by mass, modified polyolefin resin of 0.1 to 10% by mass, lubricating oil of 0.5 to 5% by mass, and plant-derived filler of 0.1 to 50% by mass are blended in addition to plant-derived polyethylene resin as a main component. A sliding member is produced by molding this resin composition for sliding member.

Various implementations of a clevis may include a continuous fiber reinforced thermoplastic that may be least partially looped around a first opening in the clevis and a second opening in the clevis. Implementations of a clevis may include a stem and the continuous fiber reinforced thermoplastic may extend into the stem.

A liner configured to be mounted on a radially inner or outer surface of a bearing ring has a generally cylindrical base having first and second axial ends and at least one groove and at least one side wall extending radially from the first or second axial end. The liner is non-metallic and has a base portion covering the inner or outer surface of the bearing ring and a plurality of side wall sections extending radially over at least a portion of at least one axial side of the ring. The base is formed from a plurality of circumferentially adjacent axially extending subsections, each pair of which is connected by a least one hinge having a radial thickness less than a radial thickness of the base portion. Also a bearing assembly that includes a bearing housing and the bearing ring with the liner contacting the bearing housing.
