Abstract
A flanged bearing includes a layer of woven braid which is continuous throughout a sleeve and a flange portions thereof, with at least one braid strand substantially parallel to a bearing axis. The sleeve may be cylindrical in shape and the flange portion washer shaped, and the braid may include carbon fiber strands impregnated with a polyimide resin so that the bushing is lightweight and self-lubricating at high temperatures.
