  • Patent number: 4106359
    Abstract: There is disclosed an antifriction assembly of relative moving machine elements such as shaft and thrust bearing or screw and nut assemblies having engagement surfaces formed of materials characterized by a coefficient of friction which is inversely dependent upon compressive loading. Typical of such materials are plastics such as fluorocarbons, polyamides and/or acetal resins. The antifriction assembly utilizes the aforementioned characteristics of these materials to achieve minimal force and wear and maximum life. The shaft and thrust bearing assembly comprises a shaft having a grooved land to receive a bearing plate which has a slotted aperture to capture the shaft. The shaft and bearing are formed of the aforementioned plastics. The screw and nut assembly comprises members that are also formed of the aforementioned plastics.
