Abstract: Plain bearings, particularly thin-walled plain bearing liners, are provided with radial projections for fixing and as an aid to assembly, e.g. with lugs, on the outer side of the outer part of the bearing, without using the whole thickness of the outer part of the bearing, so that the inner surface of the outer part of the bearing, which carries the functional layer, remains along its whole length cylindrically curved and smooth. Such outer projections are formed on a part of the thickness of the outer part of the bearing by radial shaping of the material. This is made on the joint face of bearing liners or on one or the other of the axial end faces of bearing liners or bushes or also on any desired place of the outer peripheral surface of the outer part of the bearing.

Abstract: A slider bearing assembly has a bearing housing having a bore centered on an axis and having an inside bore surface and a uniform composition plain bearing liner in and coaxial with the bore and having an outer surface delimited by two axially oppositely directed end faces, an axial middle region between the end faces, and an inner surface centered on the axis. The bore and outer surfaces are in mutual surface contact in a contact area and normally directly engage each other without the interposition of a liquid lubricant. The bearing liner is fixed in the housing against any movement relative thereto other than micromovements. A movable part has a journal centered on the axis and radially outwardly confronting and normally engaging the inner liner surface. This movable part is nonradially movable relative to the liner and housing, that is it can only move axially and/or angularly relative to the liner. Drainage channels formed in at least one of the surfaces at the contact area extend to the axial end faces.

Abstract: A multi-layered plain slide bearing having a metal base layer, and having a slide layer which is carried by the base layer and which comprises a copper-lead-tin binary or ternary alloy that has been applied to the base layer and that has an unusually high cooper content. The slide layer can contain, by weight, from 20% to 70% of copper, at least 15% and at the most 80% of lead, and from 0% to 30% of tin, and can also optionally contain indium, cadmium or other like metals. The slide bearing can further include a run-in layer which covers the slide layer, and which contains copper, tin, indium and/or lead or their oxides, sulfides or phosphides.

Abstract: A sliding bearing has a pocket recessed into the bearing surface and an edge of the pocket over which oil is supplied to the bearing surface is in the form of a wavy sinuous or sharper sawtooth-like line, with the discharge points being indentations extending in the direction of motion of the component supported for sliding on the bearing surface.
