PLAIN, slide-surface bearings were used right at the start of engineering practice, in the form of simple bushes. Whereas there is nowadays a very wide selection of bearings of more sophisticated types, it is a fact that sliding surface bearings are still employed extensively in many modern and exacting applications. The forms have, however, changed drastically over the years, and no longer is the sliding-surface bearing limited in application to supporting properly aligned shafts under conditions where lubricant can be directed in copious amounts to the friction surfaces. The modern counterpart of the simple bush can be of spherical-seating type if required, for accommodating shaft misalignment, and may be manufactured from so-called ‘self-lubricating’ materials.
