Abstract: The raceway surfaces of the inner and outer rings 1 and 2 and the surfaces of the rolling elements 3 are formed with lubricating films 1a, 2a and 3a of polytetrafluoroethylene having average molecular weight of not more than 5000 {PTFE (A)}. PTFE heretofore used for rolling bearings is a polymer having average molecular weight of more than 1.times.10.sup.5 mostly 1.times.10.sup.6 -1.times.10.sup.7, but PTFE(A) is very low in shear strength and soft as compared with PTFE polymer.

Abstract: A porous slide bearing (1) made of a porous sintered compact (5) is impregnated with an oil or a lubricant (6) containing a thickening agent at a concentration of less than 3 percent by weight and in the outer surface area thereof with a lubricant (7) containing a thickening agent at a concentration of 3 percent by weight or more. Such a bearing can prevent leakage of lubricant owing to fluctuations in temperature.A method for producing a porous slide bearing includes the steps of homogenizing a lubricant to make the crystals contained therein into fine particles and to disperse them uniformly, and impregnating under vacuum said lubricant into pores in a porous slide bearing. This method makes it possible to improve the penetration of grease into the bearing, to lower its apparent viscosity and to improve the impregnating efficiency.

Abstract: Improved greases for use in homokinetic joints are proposed which comprise a base oil, a thickening agent, and an organic molybdenum compound. Greases comprising a base oil, a thickening agent, an organic molybdenum compound, and an organic zinc compound are also proposed. These greases exhibit smaller friction coefficients than conventional greases used for this purpose. On the homokinetic joint lubricated with the grease according to the present invention, the axial force produced is reduced and vibrations generated on the engine are absorbed. The vehicle is prevented from vibrating. The use of an expensive organic metallic extreme-pressure additive is unnecessary.
