Multilayer sliding bearing

Multilayer sliding curved bearing having end edges and which comprises:

• a backing layer;
• an intermediate layer on said backing layer of a material with a predetermined hardness;
• a sliding layer of a material less hard than that of the intermediate layer on at least a substantial portion of said intermediate layer forming a shaft supporting radially internal face,
• wherein said intermediate layer has a radially internal face defined by at least one pair of surfaces eccentric to the bearing, a said pair of surfaces intercepting each other along a respective intersection line that occupies at least part of the circumferential extension of the bearing and that is inclined relative the opposite end edges of said bearing, said surfaces of said intermediate layer being inclined from the respective intersection line to reduce the thickness of said intermediate layer from said intersection line, the radially internal face of the sliding layer forming a curvature radius which is at maximum equal to the distance between the axis of the bearing and each point of a said intersection line.
