Abstract: A bearing assembly comprises an inner member, an intermediate element and an outer member. The intermediate element is mounted resiliently on the inner member by means of an elastomeric sleeve, and slidably engages the outer member. Small amplitude movement in the bearing is accommodated by the sleeve, while larger amplitude movement is accommodated by relative sliding movement between the intermediate element and the outer member. Because the cooperating surfaces of the intermediate element and the outer member are not subjected to the smaller amplitude movements, wear of these surfaces is reduced and the life of the bearing assembly is increased.
