A method for manufacturing a sliding layer of a slide bearing includes applying any of the following alloys and/or materials, namely SnSb8Cu4, SnSb12Cu6Zn, CuSn12Ni2, CuAl10Fe1, tin and aluminum bronzes, aluminum materials and alloys made therefrom, to a base body in a laser-based application process, wherein the alloy and/or material for application is in the form of a powder or compacted powder or as a wire.

A sliding element, such as a bearing, and a method of manufacturing the sliding element, is provided. The sliding element is formed of an aluminum alloy material which includes zinc in an amount of 5 wt. % to 83 wt. %. The sliding element may also include silicon and/or magnesium. The sliding element is typically formed by casting, heat treating at a temperature of 400° C. to 577° C., and cooling at a rate of less than 50° C. per hour to a temperature ranging from 400° C. to 200° C. The aluminum alloy material is then heat treated at a temperature of 100° to 275° C. for at least 5 hours to form a soft phase consisting essentially of the zinc. The second heat treatment, or possibly both heat treatments, may not be required when the aluminum alloy material includes the magnesium.

A bearing unit for a marble cutting machine has a radially outer ring, rotatable with respect to an axis of rotation (X) and is provided with a radially outer flange portion. Additionally, the bearing unit is provided with a stationary radially inner ring with a through hole in which the ratio between a dimension of an internal diameter (D) of the through hole and a dimension of the axial thickness (T) of the radially inner ring is between about 6.7 and about 11.1. A row of rolling bodies is interposed between the radially outer ring and the radially inner ring. A sealing shield is made of composite material and interposed between the radially inner ring and the radially outer ring, rotatable with respect to the rotation axis (X) and steadily anchored to the radially outer ring. The shield is provided with a sensor molded in it.

A cast for producing end plates for a pump assembly, the cast comprising a base portion and a pair of projections, the pair of projections providing material to machine bearing assembly housings for accommodating drive and idler shafts in the pump assembly. Also provided is an inner plate bushing for an end plate in a pump assembly, the inner plate bushing comprising a collar extending from a flange, the collar to be inserted into a mounting recess in the end plate with the flange seating flush with a surface of the end plate, the surface area of an end of the collar being larger than an inner surface of the flange.

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 composite shaft includes a shaft body formed from a plurality of polymer impregnated fiber-reinforced material layers having an annular outer surface and an annular inner surface defining a passage. A plurality of internal support members extend along the passage. Each of the plurality of internal support members includes a support body formed from molded plastic having an outer surface that abuts the annular inner surface of the support body, a first end, an opposing second end, and a circular end wall arranged at one of the first end and the opposing second end.

An automobile vehicle crankshaft including a crankshaft casting of a nodular iron. The crankshaft casting includes multiple main journals coaxially aligned on a common crankshaft casting axis. Multiple crankpin journals are fixedly connected to the main journals by individual webs. Multiple lightening holes have individual ones of the multiple lightening holes integrally formed within individual ones of the crankpin journals during casting. A bubble space is located proximate to a mid-portion of selected ones of the multiple lightening holes of the crankpin journals. The bubble space locally increases a passage size of the selected ones of the multiple lightening holes and reduces a mass of the individual ones of the crankpin journals.
