ABSTRACT:
An elastomeric bearing is provided for oscillatory motion which is also capable of operation as a slider bearing under high radial loads and for large motions. The bearing consists of concentric bearing members with opposed recesses forming a cavity for a mass of elastomeric material bonded to the bearing members. The bearing members have opposed bearing surfaces normally spaced apart a predetermined distance, and restraining members are provided on each side of the elastomeric material to limit its axial deflection. Under heavy radial loads, the space between the bearing surfaces closes to limit the radial deflection of the elastomer. A lubricant is preferably provided between the bearing surfaces to enable them to function as a slider bearing through a relatively large angle.
