A plain bearing assembly of a rotational element on a bearing bolt includes a bearing bolt, a bearing sleeve, which is non-rotatably mounted on said bolt and which comprises a first radial bearing surface formed on its outer periphery, and a rotational element which is rotatably mounted on the bearing sleeve and which is mounted on the first radial bearing surface via a second radial bearing surface in such a way that it can slide. Axial bearing washers, which project radially beyond the bearing sleeve, are secured to both end faces of the rotational elements. The washers run against axial bearing surfaces of the bearing sleeve, and axial flanks of the bearing sleeve form axial bearing surfaces for the axial bearing washers.

A lubrication structure of the present invention is applied to a multi-link piston crank mechanism that has a upper link (3), a lower link (6) and a control link (7). Lubricating oil is supplied in an oil storing portion (21) formed between a pair of upper-pin pin boss portions (12) by a plate member (22) through an oil supply hole (19). By oscillating rotary motion of the upper link side pin boss portion (25) that is provided with an oil groove (29) on an end surface of the upper link side pin boss portion (25), the lubricating oil in the oil storing portion (21) is supplied to an upper pin (4).

A product may be provided for use with a turbocharging system. A housing may be configured to house a bearing. A shaft may extend through the bearing. A turbine wheel may be connected to one end of the shaft. The housing may include a wall forming an opening and defining a surface facing the opening. The bearing may have a segment extending into the opening and mating with the surface. The wall may include an oil spray groove opening through the surface and having an outlet directed at the shaft.

A mechanical assembly includes two mechanical parts rotatable relative to each other. A first part is provided with a cylindrical cavity, a second part (34) has at least one cylindrical portion engaged in the cylindrical cavity of the first part, and a gap separates the cylindrical portion and the wall of the cylindrical cavity so as to allow relative movement in rotation between the first part and the second part (34). A lubricant distribution network (37, 38) is configured for feeding the gap with a fluid lubricant so as to form a fluid bearing. A first surface (34s) selected from the inside surface of the cylindrical cavity of the first part and the outside surface of the cylindrical portion of the second part is provided with at least two lubricant admission orifices.

A hydrodynamic bearing includes an annular inner surface surrounding a rotary shaft to support and guide rotation thereof about the longitudinal rotation axis thereof in an upstream to downstream rotation direction. The inner surface includes an orifice for supplying lubricant and first and second discharge recesses distributed on either side of the supply orifice according to the width of the bearing. The first discharge recess opens into a first side groove and the second discharge recess opens into a second side groove. The first and second side grooves extend along a portion of the circumference of the bearing on lateral sides of the inner surface of the bearing, from the respective first and second discharge recesses towards a third discharge recess located downstream of the two recesses, to direct the lubricant collected by the first and second discharge recesses towards the third recess to be discharged outside the bearing.

There is provided a bearing apparatus of a crankshaft for an internal combustion engine. The bearing apparatus includes a crankshaft having a plurality of journal portions and a plurality of crank pin portions; a main bearing supporting the crankshaft; and a bearing housing holding the main bearing. The plurality of journal portions include a first journal portion having a lubricating oil passage and a second journal portion not having the lubricating oil passage. The first and second journal portions and are supported by the first and second main bearings and. The bearing housing includes an Al alloy upper housing and an Fe alloy lower housing. The groove depth of the oil groove of the upper half bearing of the second main bearing is one half or less than the groove depth of the oil groove of the upper half bearing of the first main bearing.

A spur gear arrangement includes a spur gear, and two flange bushings configured to rotatably support the spur gear on a shaft, with each flange bushing including a flange. A lubricating film is provided between an inner side of the spur gear and each of the flange bushings. Two supporting bodies are arranged on the shaft, with the flange bushings being respectively arranged with their flange on the supporting bodies for axially bracing the spur gear.

A plain bearing arrangement for a shaft loaded with a circumferential radial force, having a bearing ring arranged in a rotationally fixed manner in a housing component and having a first running surface formed on the inner circumference, and a second running surface formed on the outer circumference of the shaft or on the outer circumference of a sleeve arranged on the shaft, the second running surface being mounted in a sliding manner on the first running surface, wherein a device for axially feeding a lubricant to an end side of the shaft is provided, and at least one axially extending, radially open groove that is axially open in a direction of the end side of the shaft is formed in the second running surface.
