Abstract: A self-adjusting bushing bearing receivable within a housing to control movement of a shaft therein. Shaft magnet segments are configured to receive the shaft therein, where each shaft magnet segment has an inner portion having an inner polarity and an outer portion of the shaft magnet segments has an outer polarity that is opposite the inner polarity. Bearing magnet segments are configured to receive the shaft magnet segments therein, where each of the bearing magnet segments has an inner portion having an inner polarity and an outer portion of the bearing magnet segments has an outer polarity that is opposite the inner polarity. A springy element is disposed between the housing and the bearing magnet segments to bias the bearing magnet segments radially inwardly relative to the shaft magnet segments. The outer polarity of the shaft magnet segments is the same as the inner polarity of the bearing magnet segments so as to repel each other.

Abstract: Self-adjusting bushing bearing with a shaft seal for engaging a shaft. The self-adjusting bushing bearing has a plurality of bearing segments configured to receive a shaft therein. A springy element engages an outer surface of the plurality of bearing segments and biases the plurality of bearing segments towards the shaft. A shaft seal coupled to the springy element is configured to contact the shaft when the shaft is received in the plurality of bearing segments so as to create an operable seal between the shaft and the housing.

Abstract: Self-adjusting bushing bearings having a springy element. The self-adjusting bushing bearing has a bearing subassembly that is configured to be received in a housing and also has a plurality of bearing segments that together are configured to receive a shaft therein. A springy element biases the plurality of bearing segments radially inwardly towards the shaft. The springy element is mated with at least one bearing segment in the plurality of bearing segments.

Abstract: In a self-adjusting bushing bearing for engagement with a bearing shaft, a bearing housing is provided. A bearing sub-assembly is received inside of said bearing housing, and said bearing sub-assembly being adapted to receive said bearing shaft. The bearing sub-assembly comprises at least two bearing segments and at least one springy element engaged with the bearing housing which compresses the bearing segments toward one another.
