<p>A casing for porous self-aligning bushings combines in a single assembly formed from an elastic material all of the members which contribute to hold a bushing in position while allowing it to self-align, fits hubs of any configuration, provides insulation from noise and vibration, recovers lubricant normally expelled during relative rotation between the bushing and shaft therein. The casing can store up an amount of lubricant and, in the instance of a bushing rotating around a stationary shaft, retains the lubricant which would otherwise be forced out by centrifugal force from the outer porous surface of the bushing. A bearing includes such casing and the bushing elastically fitted therein.</p> |
