A bearing bush for supporting a motor vehicle part includes an inner tube made of a metal, a sliding sleeve made of a first plastic material and mounted rotatably on the inner tube, and an elastomer bearing which surrounds the sliding sleeve and has at least a first elastomer body and an outer sleeve. A sliding layer made of a second plastic material is applied to an outer circumferential surface of the inner tube, the first plastic material and the second plastic material forming a tribological pairing either of two different polymers from the groups of polyamides, polyoxymethylenes, polyketones, fluoropolymers, polyethylene terephthalates or polybutylene terephthalates, or the tribological pairing being formed from polyketone against polyketone, wherein the polymers of the tribological pairings each are present in a continuous thermoplastic polymer phase.

A composite part is provided and includes a component, a first set of first composite plies with finite lengths and a second set of second composite plies with finite lengths. A respective end of each of the first composite plies is wrapped around the component in a clockwise wrapping direction and includes first fibers. A respective end of each of the second composite plies is wrapped around the component in a counter-clockwise wrapping direction and includes second fibers.

Provided is a sliding guide device for a machine tool, which is capable of supplying an appropriate amount of lubricating oil onto a sliding surface in a stable manner for a long period of time. A movable body is provided with a porous-body accommodation space that is open toward a guide face of a base. The porous-body accommodation space is in communication with a lubricating-oil supply passage that is in communication with an external lubricating oil supply unit. In the porous-body accommodation space, a porous body is disposed in a manner to provide a gap G between the porous body and the guide face of the base.

A water lubrication type bearing material contains 12 wt. % to 25 wt. % of a tetrafluoroethylene-perfluoroalkyl vinyl ether copolymer resin (PFA resin), 18 wt. % to 33 wt. % of a carbon fiber, and a remainder including a polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) resin and/or a modified PTFE resin. The bearing material has excellent wear resistance and sliding characteristics for a water lubrication type bearing.

A seal bearing includes: a bearing part configured to bear and hold a shaft such that the shaft is rotatable; and a seal part made of elastomer and combined with the bearing part. The seal part is joined to an end surface among two end surfaces of the bearing part. The two end surfaces are adjacent to a bearing surface of the bearing part in an axial direction.

An aircraft structural joint with a first structural component provided with an attachment hole that is configured to receive an corresponding attachment fastener provided by a second structural component; a curable composite bush compressed and cured between an outer diameter of the attachment fastener and the attachment hole when the first component is mounted to the second component, wherein the curable composite bush, when cured, prevents radial displacement of the attachment fastener within the attachment hole.

According to one embodiment, a bearing features an elastomeric portion having an opening therethrough, a member disposed within the opening of the elastomeric portion, and a separation feature disposed between the member and the elastomeric portion. The member comprises a conical body portion arranged such that an interior diameter of the conical body portion is smaller than an exterior diameter of the conical body portion. The separation feature prevents contact between the member and the elastomeric portion.

A telescopic strut, in particular for a device for lifting loads, in particular for a hanger for vehicles or vehicle parts, wherein the telescopic strut consists of an outer tube and an inner tube guided therein, wherein the inner tube is movable longitudinal direction in the outer tube, where a number of sliding shoes are attached to the outer tube to guide the inner tube, where the sliding shoes have each been introduced from the outside into an opening in the wall of the outer tube and protrude inwardly to guide the inner tube such that the telescopic strut, which is structurally simple and therefore inexpensive to produce, has good sliding properties, has little guide play and is easy to maintain.

A bearing inner race for a solar panel tracker positioning system includes a semi-circular shaped body having a first upper land and an oppositely facing second upper land. A first elongated aperture is positioned proximate to the first upper land and a second elongated aperture is positioned proximate to the second upper land. A first alignment ring is centered within the first elongated through aperture and a second alignment ring is centered within the second elongated through aperture. The bearing inner race also includes a ground stud integrally connected to the body in an as-cast condition of the body.

A bearing including a sidewall including an electrically conductive substrate, and an electrically non-conductive or low-conductive sliding layer coupled to the substrate, where the sidewall includes at least one circumferential rib feature protruding radially inward or radially outward from a bore defining a central axis, where the at least one circumferential rib feature has an aspect ratio between a circumferential length and an axial width of at least 2:1, where the circumferential rib feature is adapted to contact an opposing component such that at a point of contact the bearing has a void area free of sliding layer so as to provide electrical conductivity between the bearing and the opposing component.
