  • BEARING LAMINATE COMPRISING A FOAM LAYER
    Publication number: 20220355582
    Abstract: A bearing laminate can include a metal support layer, a foam layer overlying the metal support layer, the foam layer including a polymeric foam; and a sliding layer overlying the polymeric foam layer, the sliding layer comprising a polymer matrix. Bearing articles made from the bearing laminate can have exceptional damping properties, such as a high damping ratio combined with a low dynamic stiffness.

  • TORQUE CONTROL SYSTEM
    Publication number: 20180156282
    Abstract: A torque assembly including a housing including a first piece including a first face, a bore, and a first coupling attachment, and a second piece including a second coupling attachment; a pin including a flange and a pin protrusion extending therefrom, the pin protrusion protruding through the bore of the first piece; a first washer including a compound layer thereon adapted to contact the pin and the first piece of the housing to modify torque between the first piece and the pin; and a second washer including a compound layer thereon adapted to contact the pin and the second piece of the housing to modify torque between the second piece and the pin.
