Abstract: A slide bearing laminate and method for producing the same, wherein a low-friction composite facing or layer is secured to a carrier or foundation strip by a bonding procedure. The composite facing comprises textile material having a low-friction component on one side and a glueable component on the other side, which latter is bonded to the carrier strip. The adhesive or bonding agent preferably occupies the interstices of the composite facing, and is especially formulated to resist failure by being mixed not only with friction and heat-conducting filler elements but also with fibrous fillers which particularly contribute to the failure resistance.

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 laminate for anti-friction and slide members, comprising a metallic substrate strip having bonded to its surface a slide layer of thermally, highly stressable plastics containing thermosetting polyimide resins and polytetrafluorethylene, wherein the slide layer additionally contains polyimide lacquer mixed therein in the form of a fine powder to bond the layer to the substrate, said lacquer containing thermoplastic material selected from the group consisting of polyarylene sulfide, aliphatic polysulfide and polysulfone, thereby to improve the heat and abrasion resistance of the slide layer.

Abstract: A shaft bearing wherein axially facing slide bearing elements carry projections that extend either laterally or generally radially into interferring engagement with the shaft when incorrectly positioned in the assembly.

Abstract: Collar sleeves lined with bearing material are manufactured by axially upsetting a prepared cylindrical sleeve in a die assembly tool that permits and controls axial thickening of the sleeve wall in the region of the desired collar.

Abstract: A mounting and holding fixture for electroplating semicylindrical articles especially radial journal bearing halves produced from a synthetic thermoplastic material by the thermoplastic foaming process.

Abstract: An automatic thread cutting machine for nuts and similar mass-produced parts where the nuts or the like are taken from a magazine and moved through a feed trough into a guide where they are held secured against rotation and are then pushed by means of a pusher over a rotating thread cutter from where they are subsequently removed while the pusher is returned to its starting position. The machine is provided with an actuating cylinder which is capable of being charged with a pressure medium and which has a piston rod that is provided at its free end with a plunger serving as the pusher. A clock pulse controlled switch valve arrangement is disposed in the pressure medium line leading to the actuating cylinder, and the machine is electrically protected by a safety device which is influenced by the position of the piston rod, the safety device being rendered operative in dependence on the position of the piston rod.

Abstract: A magazine for containing a stacked column of semicylindrical articles during electroplating comprising a body of electrically insulating material of generally half cylindrical cross-section formed with a multiplicity of through holes for electrolyte flow and having at one end a bottom section mounting a metal surface for supporting one end of the column and at the other end a head section mounting a metal plate in electrical contact to the other end of said column and external springs for maintaining the magazine under longitudinal pressure in a galvanic holding mixture.

Abstract: Collar sleeves lined with bearing material are manufactured by axially upsetting a prepared cylindrical sleeve in a die assembly tool that permits and controls axial thickening of the sleeve wall in the region of the desired collar.

Abstract: A composite bearing comprising a backing layer, an intermediate layer of a good heat conducting, medium modulus of elasticity metal on said backing layer having a Vickers Hardness (Diamond Pyramid Hardness) in the range between approximately 30 [kp/mm.sup.2 ] and 100 [kp/mm.sup.2 ] and a thickness in the range between approximately 0.2 and 0.7 mm (0.001 and 0.03 inch). A first bearing layer is provided as the main surface layer on said intermediate layer having a thickness of more than 0.0025 mm (0.0001 inch) and not more than 0.1 mm (0.004 inch) preferably in the range between 0.003 mm to 0.01 mm (0.00012 to 0.0004 inch) and consisting of a bearing metal having a Vickers hardness (Diamond Pyramid Hardness) of at least 200 [kp/mm.sup.2 ]. An additional surface layer is provided over said first bearing layer as a running-in layer having a thickness of not more than 0.05 mm (0.
