Abstract
A bearing comprising a body of polymeric material and a reinforcing member embedded in the body and having a plurality of perforations throughout which are affixed in the reinforcing member. The polymeric material extends through the perforations. The bearing may have various configurations. The reinforcing member may comprise a thin metal sheet having perforations therein, a woven metal body defining the perforations, or adjacent woven metal bodies each having perforations. In one form, a backing member is adhered to on one side of said reinforcing member. Where a thin metal sheet is used, it has a roughened surface finish at the interface with the plastic body.
