Claims6
Water lubricated bearing means, comprising a tubular elastic composite bearing member formed of an elastomeric material of moderate elasticity;
- a plurality of segmental lining members arranged in circumferentially spaced relation on the inside surface of said bearing member, each of said lining members being formed of a thermoplastic synthetic resin compound selected from the group comprising tetrafluoroethylene, polyethylene or polyacetal and at least one filler, the spaces between said lining members defining lubricating grooves;
- tubular bushing means containing a cylindrical chamber in which said bearing means is concentrically mounted;
- and bearing support means containing a cylindrical bore in which said bushing means is concentrically mounted.
