Abstract:
PCT No. PCT/EP97/06952 Sec. 371 Date Jun. 17, 1999 Sec. 102(e) Date Jun. 17, 1999 PCT Filed Dec. 2, 1997 PCT Pub. No. WO98/27347 PCT Pub. Date Jun. 25, 1998An improved bearing is disclosed which runs without clearance, and in which any wear is retrofitted automatically. This is achieved by a bearing assembly comprising a bearing (3) having an axial split (5) and an antifriction lining, and an elastic element (4), in which the elastic element exerts a force on the bearing acting to close the axial split. The presence of a shaft (1) in the bearing (3) opens the axial split (5), creating a permanent pressure acting to close the axial split (5) in the bearing. The end of the bearing life is attained when wear is sufficient to allow the axial split to close.
