Slide-bearing assemblies capable of enabling sliding of a load-carrying implement relative to a load-supporting structure, having first and second load-carrying surfaces, respectively, are disclosed. In one embodiment, the slide-bearing assembly includes substantially nonmetallic first and second elongate bearing elements extending in parallel to support the first load-carrying surface of the load-carrying implement slidably upon the load-supporting structure. One of the bearing elements being composed of multiple elongate pieces each shorter in length than a length of the other of the bearing elements. The slide-bearing assembly additionally includes a post that extends from a surface of each of the multiple elongate pieces, which is a surface that is opposed to the second load-carrying surface, each post is sized to fit in a respective recess of the second load-carrying surface. The slide-bearing assembly further includes at least one coating on the first load-carrying surface made of high-performance thermoplastic material(s).
A slide-bearing assembly capable of enabling sliding of a load-carrying implement relative to a load-supporting structure, having a first and a second load-carrying surface, respectively, the slide-bearing assembly comprising:
