A bearing including a sidewall including a substrate and a low friction material extending along at least one of a radially inner surface or a radially outer surface of the sidewall, the sidewall further including: a body defining a bore about a central axis; and a flange contiguous with and extending from an axial end of the body, where the flange includes a folded over outermost peripheral edge, where the substrate has a reduced thickness at the outermost peripheral edge, the flange being configured such that the substrate is not exposed along the outermost peripheral edge.

In a flare fitting structure in which a flared portion that is formed in an end of a flared tube and faces a connected member is pressed by a flared nut to connect the flared tube to the connected member, the flared tube is formed by flaring a cylindrical tube including an original tube and a coating layer that coats a surface of the original tube, the flared portion includes a flare inclined plane that faces the connected member, and the flare inclined plane is formed with a machining portion in which the original tube is exposed by a machining operation.

The invention concerns a method for production of a steel tubular product (1), in particular an airbag tubular product, with the following steps: a) provision of a steel tube (2), b) shaping of the steel tube (2) into a pre-geometry (3), wherein in an end region (4), an outer diameter (5) of the steel tube (2) is reduced by axial movement into an outer tool, c) calibration of an inner diameter (7) of the pre-geometry (3), wherein the pre-geometry (3) is still laid in the outer tool, and an inner mandrel, with an outer diameter corresponding to the inner diameter (7) of the calibrated pre-geometry (3), is introduced into the end region (4) of the pre-geometry (3), and the pre-geometry (3) is pressed against the outer tool such that the inner diameter (7) of the pre-geometry (3) is calibrated by shaping, d) removal of the pre-geometry (3) from the outer tool (5) and removal of the inner mandrel from the pre-geometry (3), e) axial movement of the pre-geometry (3) into a drawing tool with a roll-in contour having a pot-like concavity, with simultaneous shaping of the pre-geometry (3) into the tubular product (1) with a rotationally symmetrical outlet opening (8) positioned centrally in the end face, f) removal of the tubular product (1) from the drawing tool.

The present disclosure provides sealing devices and construction methods thereof. The sealing devices include a duct having a main axial portion, an intermediate annular portion facing the main axial portion, and an annular end portion facing the intermediate annular portion. The intermediate annular portion and the end annular portion are connected by an annular fold so as to form an axial annular mounting slot that is axially open opposite this annular fold. A connecting member comprises a radial plateau and, around a through-opening, an axial annular mounting portion. The axial annular mounting portion of the connection member is engaged and grasped in the axial mounting slot between the intermediate annular portion and the end annular portion of the duct.

A duct flange structure which has a higher strength and which is easier to handle and manufacture. The duct flange structure is arranged in an end portion of a duct body having a substantially quadrilateral shape in section that includes a flange portion formed by bending an extension portion extending from an opening edge of each of wall plates constituting the duct body, the flange portion being constituted by a vertical portion extending outside substantially vertically to the wall plate and a horizontal portion extending substantially parallel to the wall plate from the vertical portion, the vertical portion and the horizontal portion being formed by folding and superposing the extension portion in two layers so as to form two adjacent wall portions.
