  • Patent number: 10598214
    Abstract: A bearing element has at least one inner ring element and at least one outer ring element, wherein, between the inner ring element and the outer ring element, a sliding bearing system is disposed that is formed by at least two sliding bearings. The sliding bearings have a sliding face, which cooperates with a running face of the opposite ring element. In the new condition of the sliding bearing, the sliding face of the sliding bearing, viewed in cross section, has at least one first sub-portion and one second sub-portion, wherein a tangent constructed on the first sub-portion is disposed at a first angle relative to the central longitudinal axis and a tangent constructed on the second sub-portion is disposed at a second angle relative to the central longitudinal axis, wherein the first angle has a magnitude different from that of the second angle.

  • Patent number: 10436249
    Abstract: A method for producing a plain bearing bush includes providing a flat supporting metal layer and an anti-friction layer on this supporting metal layer to produce a flat composite material. The flat composite material is then rolled into the shape of the plain bearing bush in such a way that the supporting metal layer in the plain bearing bush is disposed radially underneath the anti-friction layer. The plain bearing bush includes the supporting metal layer disposed underneath the anti-friction layer in the radial direction.
