A dynamic bearing for an aircraft landing gear. The bearing comprises a lug, a shaft comprising a first material, and a bearing surface comprising a second material that is softer than the first material. The bearing surface defines a bore and is arranged to support the shaft when the shaft is movably housed within the bore in use. The bearing surface is defined by the lug or a coating applied to the lug.

A slide bearing pad for a slide bearing arrangement has a bearing surface. On a first circumferential face of the slide bearing pad, a lubricating oil transport groove is configured in the region of the bearing surface. The lubricating oil transport groove may have a radial groove depth and a circumferential groove depth between 10% and 300% of the radial groove depth.

The present disclosure is directed towards a coupling assembly (13) for a machine (10). The coupling assembled comprises a pin (27) comprising at least a first pin passageway (31) for lubricant extending between a first pin passageway inlet (32) and a first pin passageway outlet (33) for directing lubricant outside of the pin (27). The coupling assembly (13) also comprises a distribution device (28) for distributing lubricant comprising at least one distribution device inlet (45) for receiving lubricant and at least one distribution device outlet (46, 62, 47, 48). The distribution device (28) is mounted to the pin (27) and the at least one distribution device outlet (46, 62, 47, 48) is arranged to direct lubricant into the first pin passageway inlet (32).

A fluid bearing for operably connecting a shaft to a center housing of a turbocharger is provided. The fluid bearing includes a single-piece bearing sleeve defining a bore between first and second ends that each form a thrust face. The sleeve includes first and second bearing portions proximal to an associated one of the first and second ends, and a shank connecting the first and second bearing portions. Each of the first and second bearing portions includes an outer bearing surface defining a maximum outer diameter, and each of the first and second bearing portions includes an inner bearing surface defining a minimum inner diameter for radially supporting the shaft in the bore. The inner bearing surface is a continuous surface free of grooves. The sleeve has a wall thickness defining oil passages spaced from the inner bearing surface and configured to supply oil to the thrust face.

A valve drive for a cylinder head of an internal combustion engine has a camshaft which is rotatably mounted in a first and a second camshaft bearing and which includes at least one cam with a first cam curve and a second cam curve that differs from the first cam curve. A gas exchange valve can be actuated by the first or the second cam curve via a cam follower. A camshaft section is provided, by which the cam can be moved by an actuator such that the gas exchange valve can be actuated either via the first or the second cam curve via the cam follower. The camshaft and the cam have a fixed position relative to each other. The camshaft can be axially moved in the first and the second camshaft bearing. The camshaft bearings consist of a camshaft bearing block and a common bearing frame. A lubricant supply bore is provided which opens into a fourth lubricant groove in the bearing frame in order to supply the bearing points with lubricant. A first lubricant groove is provided in the first camshaft bearing block, and a second lubricant groove is provided in the second camshaft bearing block. These lubricant grooves correspond to the fourth lubricant groove and are open in the direction of the cam follower.

A journal bearing comprising a central member and at least a first end member separated from the central member by a first undercut having an undercut diameter U1, an outer cylindrical surface of the first end member being axially spaced from an outer cylindrical surface of the central member, wherein the outer cylindrical surface of the first end member has a diameter A, the outer cylindrical surface of the central member has a diameter B, and wherein diameter B is greater than diameter A, and diameter A is greater than diameter U1.

A half bearing includes: a semi-cylindrical bearing body having an inner circumferential surface that slides against a counterpart shaft; and a first groove formed in the inner circumferential surface so as to extend in a circumferential direction of the inner circumferential surface. In a cross section that is parallel with the circumferential direction and passes through the first groove, of the bearing body, an angle satisfies 90105, where the angle is formed by: a line connecting the inner circumferential surface side end of a mating surface located on a downstream side in a rotational direction of the counterpart shaft with the center point of a circular arc constituting an outer circumferential surface; and a line connecting an end of the first groove in the circumferential direction, on the upstream side in the rotational direction of the counterpart shaft, with the center point.

A pin for a coupler assembly for rotatably coupling a beam of a circle assembly of a grader machine with a bracket of a moldboard assembly of the grader machine includes a body defining a head portion and a shank portion. The shank portion integrally extends from the head portion. The head portion is adapted to be seated over one or more of the beam and the bracket. The shank portion is adapted to pass through the beam and the bracket to rotatably couple the beam and the bracket about the shank portion. A grease gallery is defined through the head portion, extending into the shank portion. The body defines multiple grease passages branching out from the grease gallery up to corresponding sections of an outer surface of the shank portion where the beam and the bracket are correspondingly adapted to lie in rotatable registration with the shank portion.

A method for manufacturing a gear assembly of a gearbox in a wind turbine includes providing a pin shaft of the gear assembly. The method also includes depositing material onto an exterior surface of the pin shaft of the gear assembly via an additive manufacturing process driven by a computer numerical control (CNC) device to form a bearing that circumferentially surrounds and adheres to the pin shaft. Further, the method includes providing a gear circumferentially around the bearing to form the gear assembly.

A gas turbine engine comprising a gearbox, the gearbox having gear(s). A journal bearing assembly rotatably supports the gear, the journal bearing assembly having at least a pin, and a journal having a tubular body defining a pin-receiving inner cavity having an inner surface, a first cavity and a second cavity defined in the inner surface of the pin-receiving inner cavity, a rib support located between the first cavity and the second cavity, the rib support being aligned with a longitudinal center of the tubular body, with the first cavity and the second cavity on opposed axial sides of the rib support.
