Abstract: A bearing seal includes a seal case, a sleeve, and a thrust bumper that is disposed between the seal case and the sleeve and that is composed of a material that is at least 90% polytetrafluoroethylene by weight. The thrust bumper has an initial axial thickness that defines a spacing between the seal case and the sleeve when the seal case and the sleeve are compressed together during assembly of the bearing seal. The thrust bumper has a modified axial thickness less than the initial axial thickness after a break-in phase of the bearing seal.

Abstract: A steering gear for a steer-by-wire steering system of a motor vehicle may include a coupling rod mounted in a steering gear housing. A threaded spindle may be formed on the coupling rod and surrounded by a spindle nut as part of a spiral gear. The coupling rod may be displaceable along a longitudinal axis by way of the spiral gear. The coupling rod can be mounted in the steering gear housing by way of a plain bearing so as to be displaceable along the longitudinal axis. The plain bearing is configured to compensate for thermal expansions between the steering gear housing and the spindle nut.

Abstract: A method for assembling a vehicle transmission shift shaft assembly with a shift shaft having a first diameter, a shift lever fixedly mounted to an end thereof, and a step defining a second diameter smaller than the first diameter along a length thereof. The method includes positioning a seal on the shift shaft to abut the shift lever, and positioning a spacer on the shift shaft to abut the seal. The method further includes positioning a bushing over the spacer, and positioning a retainer clip on the shift shaft adjacent to the step so as to retain the bushing over the spacer.

Abstract: A metallic bearing body for a sliding bearing includes a main body and a plurality of protrusions extending outward from the main body. Each of the plurality of protrusions extends in a longitudinal direction from the main body to an upper surface that is distal from the main body and has at least one through-bore that extends through the protrusion transversely relative to the longitudinal direction.

Abstract: An elastomeric bearing includes a first race having an axis of rotation, a second race coaxially arranged relative to the first race and spaced from the first race by a gap and a bearing body in the gap connecting the first race to the second race. The bearing body is formed from a first plurality of elastomeric laminae coaxial with the first race and a second plurality of carbon fiber laminae coaxial with the first race, and the elastomeric laminae and the carbon fiber laminae alternate in a direction from the first race to the second race. The carbon fiber laminae may each include multiple sheets of carbon fibers embedded in a thermoplastic such as polyether ether ketone (PEEK).

Abstract: A gimbal joint may employ a plurality of wear sleeves, each disposed between a pin or pin receptive bore of a first structure and a corresponding bore or pin of a second structure and between another pin or bore of the second structure and a corresponding bore or pin of a third structure. Each of these structures may be adapted to rotate in a single plane, with one structure adapted to also tilt about a first axis, and one other structure adapted to tilt about a second axis. Each integral flanged wear sleeve may comprise a right circular hollow cylindrical body portion, which may be interiorly sized to be retained on one of the pins and externally sized to be retained in one of the pin receptive bores, and a flange portion may radiate from one end of the cylindrical body portion.
