摘要

A plain bearing for supporting both radial and thrust loads has two cylindrical half shells (3) which together form the journal bearing which supports the radial load. The thrust load is supported by two half rings (2) fastened to the ends of the half shells (2). Each half ring (2) has three projections (4) of dove-tail form extending radially inwards from its inner edge. Each projection (4) engages a slot (6) of matching shape formed in the end edge of the corresponding half shell (2). USE - Plain bearings.
