SELF LUBRICATED SLIDING BEARING WITH CURVED GROOVE GEOMETRY

摘要

The invention relates to a self lubricated sliding bearing (1) with a curved groove (17) geometry. In order to provide increased load carrying capability and reduced friction without the necessity to change existing dimensions of the bearing and possibly at the same time to provide improved landing behaviour the sliding bearing (1) comprises a bearing shaft (5) and a bearing bushing (7) with curved grooves (17). In particular, the bearing bushing (7) encloses the bearing shaft (5) concentrically and is rigidly connected to an anode disc (9) and to a rotor (11). Moreover, the bearing bushing (7) is ratably arranged on the bearing shaft (5). The bearing shaft (5) comprises a first face (13) and the bearing bushing (7) comprises a second face (15) which are rotable with respect to each other. At least one of the first and the second bearing faces (13, 15) comprises a plurality of curved grooves (17).
