Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9205955A1] Disclosed are bearing liners (10) comprising a supporting fabric (1) and a shaped body of low-friction polymeric resin (2) supported by the fabric. At least that portion of the shaped body in contact with the load undergoes cold flow upon the application of the load to the bearing liner. It is preferred that the amount of cold flow exhibited by the shaped body is sufficient to increase by 100 % or more the area of surface contact between the load and the shaped body. According to one preferred embodiment, the braided fabric (1) comprises polyester yarn and the low-friction polymeric resin (2) comprises fluorocarbon polymer monofilament.
