Abstract
A high-performance plain bearing provided with a friction coating including a bronze layer whereof the pores are filled with a PTFE-type fluoroplastic paste filled with molybdenum bisulphide. The production method includes sintering a layer of bronze powder on the metal support of the bearing, a vacuum ionic cleaning, applying a filled fluoroplastic film, passing the component through a die and after sintering the paste, a final pass in the die for final dimensioning. During sintering and passing through the die an anti-adhesive and wear-resistant coating, based on titanium nitride or the like, is applied on the equipment.
