The present application relates to a plain bearing, or a part thereof and to a method for producing same, characterised in that the plain bearing at least partially consists of a CuCrZr alloy. The application also relates to the use of the CuCrZr alloy as a plain bearing material.

A method for manufacturing a component is provided. The method includes providing one or more notches on a surface of the component. Further, depositing a coating on the surface to provide a thickness of the coating on the surface, is performed. The method also includes removing, at least partially, the coating from the surface such that the thickness of the coating over the notches is different from the thickness of the coating on the surface adjacent to the notches.

A bearing structure includes a bearing that supports a propeller shaft, an annular vibration isolating member fitted over the bearing, an outer ring attached to the vibration isolating member and having an outer-peripheral fitting surface, and a bracket attached to a vehicle body and having an inner-peripheral fitting surface that is fitted to the outer-peripheral fitting surface. Both the bracket and the outer ring are formed of an aluminum material. An anodized aluminum layer is formed on at least one of the inner-peripheral fitting surface and the outer-peripheral fitting surface. Because of the above mentioned features, the bearing structure that has a light weight and is inexpensive and productive.

An assembly comprising: a core in the form of a toroid; and at least one washer overlying the core, the washer comprising a polymer, wherein the washer has an arcuate cross-section so as to have a shape complementary to the core.

A sliding bearing for a gearbox of a wind turbine, having a support body and a sliding layer which is applied on the support body, and on which a sliding surface is formed, wherein a lubricant distribution groove extending in an axial direction of the sliding surface is formed on the sliding surface. The support body is formed as a bush rolled from a support body strip, wherein a first longitudinal end and a second longitudinal end of the support body strip are connected to one another in a materially bonded manner, in particular by a welding connection, at a joint, wherein the joint is formed in the region of the lubricant distribution groove.

Hub bearing assembly for a vehicle wheel, the assembly having an axial tubular appendage capable of being inserted into a central hole of a wheel of the vehicle, and wherein the tubular appendage has a radially outer surface of substantially cylindrical shape; a collar of cylindrical shape being mounted on the tubular appendage so as to cover a second centring section of the radially outer cylindrical surface, and having an insert of metallic material and an inner coating layer which at least partially covers the insert and is formed on the insert by galvanizing.

A sliding member includes, on a surface of a metal substrate, a surface-treated layer including a zinc-electroplated layer, a chemical conversion-treated layer, and a topcoat layer sequentially stacked on the metal substrate. The chemical conversion-treated layer includes chromium and oxygen. The topcoat layer includes at least one material selected from the group consisting of a silica compound, acrylic resin, polyurethane resin, epoxy resin, phenol resin, and melamine resin. A method of manufacturing the sliding member includes a step of forming, on a surface of the chemical conversion-treated layer, the topcoat layer including at least one material selected from the group consisting of a silica compound, acrylic resin, polyurethane resin, epoxy resin, phenol resin, and melamine resin.

A slide member having a slide surface coated with a lacquer comprising a resin. The lacquer is in turn at least partly coated with a lipophilic composition coating. The lipophilic composition coating provides a slide layer on the slide member with low friction.

A shaft member of an embodiment includes: a base material having a shaft shape and made of steel; a low phosphorus plating layer that is laminated on the base material, that includes phosphorus, and in which the phosphorus content is 4.5 mass % or less; and a base plating layer that is formed as an electrolytic nickel phosphorus plating layer or a high phosphorus plating layer laminated between the base material and the low phosphorus plating layer. It is thus possible to increase the strength of the shaft member and decrease the size of the shaft member.
