<p>A solid-lubricated bearing assembly (16) comprising an outer bearing member (18) having a generally radially inwardly facing race surface (20) formed therein adapted to receive rotatable bearing elements (22) for rotating motion of the rotatable bearing elements respecting the outer bearing member (18), an inner bearing member (24) having a generally radially outwardly facing race surface (26) formed therein adapted to receive the rotatable bearing elements (22) for rotating motion of the rotatable bearing elements respecting the inner bearing member (24), a plurality of the rotatable bearing elements (22) retained between the race surfaces (20, 26) of the inner and outer bearing members (18, 24), and solid lubricant material (28) biased against and contacting at least one of the rotatable bearing elements (22) for depositing a film of the solid lubricant material on the rotatable element by contact therewith as the rotatable elements (22) rotate against the race surfaces (20, 26).</p> |
