  • Bearing material having a matrix impregnated with polymeric resin
    Patent number: 5229198
    Abstract: A low-friction bearing material includes a matrix formed by a wire mesh screen which is fused to a metal backing sheet. Polytetrafluoroethylene or other polymeric resin fills the interstices within the screen and between the screen and the backing sheet and locks itself rigidly to the screen and the backing sheet in order to impart high strength to the bearing material.

  • Pillow block housing for a shaft-supporting bearing
    Patent number: 4995734
    Abstract: A shaft is supported to slide in a linear bearing which, in turn, is supported within a bore in a pillow block housing. To enable the bearing to self-align with a bearing in a paired pillow block housing, the bore of the housing is longitudinally crowned and permits the bearing to rock universally within a limited range while still maintaining rigidity and precise centerline accuracy.
