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: 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.
