Abstract:
Provided is a slide bearing capable of retaining strength while achieving weight reduction and cost-cutting.The slide bearing has an upper case (2) to be attached to an upper support for attaching a suspension to a vehicle body, a lower case (3) rotatably combined with the upper case (2), an annular center plate (4) located between the upper case (2) and the lower case (3), and an annular sliding sheet (5) located between the upper case (2) and the center plate (4). The lower case (3) has a lower case body (31) in a substantial cylindrical shape, a flange part (32) projecting radially outward from an outer peripheral surface of the lower case body (31), and hollow sections (321) formed on an outer peripheral surface of the flange part (32). A plurality of the hollow sections (321) are formed at equal intervals in a circumferential direction on the outer peripheral surface of the flange part (32).
Abstract:
A synthetic resin-made thrust sliding bearing includes a synthetic resin-made upper casing, a synthetic resin-made lower casing, and a synthetic resin-made thrust sliding bearing piece interposed between the upper casing and the lower casing.
Abstract:
A thrust sliding bearing in which a dust cover that covers a piston rod of a strut type suspension can be securely and easily assembled to a lower case that is arranged under an upper case, and to provide the thrust sliding bearing whose mold structure for molding the lower case can be simple. In a thrust sliding bearing, a lower case, which rotatably slides around an axial center of an upper case, includes a plurality of upper tongues for engaging with at least a case-side protrusion of the upper case and a plurality of lower tongues for engaging with at least a cover-side protrusion of a dust cover, and the upper tongues and the lower tongues of the lower case protrude in the direction toward the axial center from an inner circumferential surface of a cylindrical portion provided in the lower case so as not to overlap each other in the direction of the axial center.
Abstract:
A sliding bearing includes: an upper casing; a synthetic resin-made lower casing which is superposed on the upper casing so as to be rotatable about an axis in a circumferential direction relative to the upper casing; a synthetic resin-made sliding bearing piece disposed in an annular space between the upper casing and the lower casing; and a synthetic resin-made seal member for sealing respective other annular end portions, communicating with the outside, of a gap on an inner peripheral side and a gap on an outer peripheral side in a radial direction between the upper casing and the lower casing, the gap and the gap respectively communicating with the annular space at their one annular end portions.
Abstract:
The purpose of the present invention is to improve the driving stability of a vehicle in which a double wishbone type or multi-link type suspension is adopted. A double wishbone type suspension has a sliding bearing disposed between a coil spring provided coaxially with a shock absorber and an upper support for mounting the coil spring to the body of the vehicle along with the shock absorber, the sliding bearing permitting the coil spring and the upper support to rotate relative to each other. The sliding bearing permits the coil spring and the upper support to rotate relative to each other with torque lower than torque generated by the torsion of the coil spring caused by the load of the vehicle acting on a damper assembly.
Abstract:
Provided is a sliding bearing wherein radial play is prevented. A sliding bearing (1) comprises: an upper case (2) mounted to an upper support for mounting the strut assembly of a strut-type suspension to a vehicle body; a lower case (3) which is mounted to an upper spring seat for supporting the upper end of the coil spring of the strut-type suspension, is combined with the upper case (2) so that the upper case (2) and the lower case (3) can pivot relative to each other, and forms an annular space (5) between the upper case (2) and the lower case (3) ; and an annular center plate (4) disposed in the annular space (5) and enabling the upper case (2) and the lower case (3) to pivot relative to each other. The center plate (4) has a circular conical surface-shaped bearing surface (41). The upper case (2) has a circular conical surface-shaped load transmission surface (27) sliding on the bearing surface (42) of the center plate (4).
Abstract:
A thrust sliding bearing 1 includes a synthetic resin-made lower casing 2, a synthetic resin-made upper casing 3 superposed on the lower casing 2, and a synthetic resin-made thrust sliding bearing piece 4 interposed between said upper casing 3 and the lower casing 2.
Abstract:
Provided is a sliding bearing capable of reducing the number of components and reducing costs. This sliding bearing (1) is provided with; an upper case (2); a lower case (3) combined with the upper case (2); and an annular dust seal-integrated center plate (8) that has a dust seal part (6) for covering a gap between the upper case (2) and the lower case (3), is disposed between the upper case (2) and the lower case (3), and enables relative rotation between the upper case (2) and the lower case (3). The dust seal-integrated center plate (8) is integrally formed with the lower case (3).
Abstract:
A synthetic resin-made thrust sliding bearing includes a synthetic resin-made upper casing which is fixed to a vehicle body side via a mounting member; a synthetic resin-made lower casing which is superposed on the upper casing so as to be rotatable about an axis in a circumferential direction relative to the upper casing; and a synthetic resin-made sliding bearing piece disposed in a space between the upper casing and the lower casing.
