A bearing assembly comprises a shaft having a longitudinal axis, a sleeve supported concentrically about the shaft, and a tubular liner received between the shaft and the sleeve so as to be concentric therewith and so as to support the sleeve for rotation relative to the shaft. The tubular liner comprises synthetic fibres woven helically about the longitudinal axis of the shaft and a rigid surrounding material which surrounds the synthetic fibres. The sleeve also comprises synthetic fibres woven about the longitudinal axis of the shaft and a rigid surrounding material which surrounds the synthetic fibres. The synthetic fibres may comprise glass fibres, polyester fibres, para-aramids, and/or Polytetrafluoroethylene fibres which are wound helically about the longitudinal axis. The surrounding material may comprise a thermoset material, a phenolic material, an epoxy, and/or a resin which is set to be rigid about the fibres.
