Definitions
- the invention relates to bearings.
- Bearings can provide convenient means for rotatably, pivotably or slidably fastening multiple members to one another in a low maintenance manner.
- Applications for bearings include those that have continuous rotational movement, such as journals for supporting a driven shaft.
- Bearings can also be used for applications that have repeated pivotal movement, such as automotive door hinges, door checks, brake and accelerator pedals. Additional applications include those that have repeated reciprocal movement, such as automotive shock absorbers and struts.
- Bearings can also be used in lighter duty applications, such as multiple bar linkages used in the automotive industry for trunk deck lid and hood hinges.
- Low maintenance bearings can include a variety of configurations, such as, for example, bushes or journal bearings, thrust bearings or washers, locating pads, valve port plates, and wearing components for a variety of mechanisms.
- An example of a low maintenance a sliding bearing includes a metal support and a plastic layer.
- the invention relates to bearings, such as those that can be used in high speed applications.
- the invention features a bearing including a substrate having a first portion and a second portion thicker than the first portion, the second portion having a curved outer contour; and a first layer on an inner contour of the substrate.
- the first layer can include a lubricious material, such as grease.
- the invention features a bearing including a substrate having a first portion and a second portion thicker than the first portion, the second portion having a curved outer contour; and a first layer on the outer contour of the substrate.
- the invention features a bearing including a substrate having an inner surface, a first portion and a second portion thicker than the first portion, the second portion extending linearly for at least 25% of a length of the substrate; and a first layer on the inner surface of the substrate.
- FIG. 1 is a perspective view of an embodiment of a bearing.
- FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view of the bearing of FIG. 1 , taken along line 2 - 2 .
- FIG. 3 is a diagram of an embodiment of a substrate.
- FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view of an embodiment of a bearing.
- FIG. 5 is a cross-sectional view of an embodiment of a bearing.
- FIG. 6 is a diagram of a system including a bearing and a motor.
- a plain bearing 20 includes a cylindrical body 22 that defines a lumen 24 extending coaxially with a longitudinal axis (L) of the bearing.
- bearing 20 can be placed in a housing, and lumen 24 can be used to receive, for example, a rotating shaft of a motor.
- Body 22 includes (e.g., is formed of) multiple (as shown, three) unitarily formed layers that enhance the performance of bearing 20 .
- body 22 includes a thermally conductive outer layer 26 that forms a cylindrical outer surface of bearing 20 , a substrate 28 , and a lubricious inner layer 30 that forms a cylindrical inner surface of the bearing.
- the lubricious material reduces friction and allows bearing 20 to be used for high speed applications (such as electric motors, transmissions, and reciprocating pumps).
- Thermally conductive outer layer 26 can reduce generation of heat during use.
- Substrate 28 includes a plurality of lobes 32 that extend circumferentially and coaxially around longitudinal axis L. Substrate 28 provides bearing 20 with a mechanically strong support, and lobes 28 allow more thermally conductive material from outer layer 26 to be included in bearing 20 . As shown, lobes 32 are curved projections that extend radially outward away from longitudinal axis L. Referring to FIG. 3 , adjacent lobes 32 are spaced from each other and separated by a trough portion 33 . Each trough portion 33 has a thickness (T l ) that is less than a thickness (T l ) of a lobe adjacent to the trough portion 33 .
- Each lobe 32 has an outer contour 34 having at least one curved portion or segment (such as a curved outermost portion, e.g., the outermost 25%, 10%, 5%, 2% of a maximum thickness of a lobe), and an inner contour 36 whose curvature tracks the curvature of lumen 24 .
- outer contour 34 can include one or more curved portions that matches or substantially matches a portion of a circle, an ellipse, an oval, a parabola, or a non-linear and non-angular curve.
- outer contour 34 includes one or more continuously curved portions in which two line segments (if any) on the outer contour cannot intersect at a point that is on the curved portion.
- outer contour 34 has a radius of curvature ranging from approximately 0.5 mm to approximately 2.0 mm.
- each trough portion 33 has a curved outer contour 35 .
- outer contour 35 is concave, while outer contour 34 of lobe 32 is convex.
- Outer contour 35 can include one or more curved portions that matches or substantially matches a portion of a circle, an ellipse, an oval, a parabola, or a non-linear and non-angular curve.
- outer contour 35 includes one or more continuously curved portions in which two line segments (if any) on the outer contour cannot intersect at a point that is on the curved portion.
- Outer contour 35 can have a radius of curvature that is less than, substantially equal to, or greater than a radius of curvature of outer contour 34 .
- lobes 32 and substrate 28 can vary, depending on the intended application of bearing 20 .
- a substrate can include one or more lobes, such as two to more than twelve lobes.
- the number of lobes can be a function of, for example, the intended application for bearing 20 , the thicknesses of the layers in the bearing, the materials included in the bearing, the geometry and size of the bearing, and/or the geometry and size of the member (e.g., spinning shaft) to be used with the bearing.
- Increasing the number of lobes can, for example, increase the surface area of the substrate that interacts with a housing and allow a higher load to be used with the bearing.
- the number of lobes is determined by balancing the load requirements of the intended application and the reduction (e.g., minimization) of friction and heat generation.
- the lobes can be equally or unequally distributed around longitudinal axis L. As shown in FIG. 1 , the lobes extend linearly and longitudinally parallel to longitudinal axis L for the entire length of substrate 28 , which, as shown, matches the longitudinal length (l) of bearing 20 .
- the lobes extend for less than the entire longitudinal length (l) of bearing 20 , for example, from approximately 25% to approximately 100% of length (l), from approximately 50% to approximately 100% of length (l), or from approximately 75% to approximately 100% of length (l).
- One or more lobes can extend continuously or discontinuously along length (l).
- a bearing 20 ′ includes lobes 32 ′ of different dimensions. As shown, substrate 28 ′ includes four lobes 32 ′ and four thinner lobes 32 ′′.
- Substrate 28 can include (e.g., be formed of) any material capable of providing bearing 20 with the mechanical and physical properties for the bearing to be used in its intended application.
- substrate 28 can include one or more metals (such as aluminum), one or more alloys (such as steel, cold-rolled steel, stainless steel, conventional drawing quality sheet steel, and brass), one or more plastics, one or more ceramics, and/or one or more composites (such as one including glass and/or carbon fibers).

- the portions having different compositions can be arranged radially ( FIG. 5 ) or circumferentially (e.g., adjacent lobes or portions thereof can have different compositions).
- the inner and outer surfaces of substrate 28 can be untreated or treated to enhance the physical and/or chemical properties of the substrate.
- the surface(s) can be treated using techniques such as galvanizing, chromate or phosphate treatments, anodizing (e.g., for an aluminum substrate), laser melting or ablation, mechanical sandblasting and/or chemical pickling.
- a surface can be modified using a discontinuous laser beam that selectively hits the surface and melts it over a relatively small area to create spaced craters.
- the craters can enhance adhesion between substrate 28 and lubricious layer 30 .
