Abstract: Disclosed is a bearing shell comprising a metallic supporting material which is coated with at least one sliding bearing material. At least one oil-bearing groove is engraved within the rear side of the supporting materials. According to a method; a band made of composite material is produced by coating one side of a metallic supporting material with at least one sliding bearing material; grooves are engraved into the bare supporting material of the band; strips of material are cut and shaped into bearing shells; and the inside of the bearing shells is machined, resulting in material being removed.

Abstract: A method for producing flanged bearings is described in which the blank (10) is punched out, forming at least two extension and holding portions (9, 9′), by means of which the blank (10) remains connected with the strip or the neighbouring blank during shaping. The flanged bearing is separated from the extension and holding portions (9, 9′) once shaping is complete. A device for shaping blanks is also described, which comprises a die and a die barrel, as well as on each side a slide displaceable for the purpose of forming the flange.

Abstract: Method and machine for producing friction bearing shells from ribbon-shaped composite laminate material, wherein the composite laminate material is fed and processed in successive stages at a multiplicity of successive stations until the shells are finished, except for the slide surface processing. The continuous processing includes chip-generating operations arranged to considerably improve the precision and quality of the friction bearing shells that are produced. The ribbon is blanked to produce individual plates which are disposed transverse to the transport direction, making it possible to work on each individual plate without reaction upon other plates. Scrap and chips are removed, preferably at spacing areas. The shells leaving the continuous production line are finished, except for any processing of the slide surfaces.
