ABSTRACT:
A flexible liner for bearing assemblies and the like including a flexible sleeve having first and second sides and a plurality of first and second slots formed therein. The first slots are positioned adjacent the first side of the flexible sleeve. The second slots are disposed adjacent the second side of the flexible sleeve. The first slots are offset from the second slots such that no other first slot is aligned with a second slot. The first and second slots form a plurality of first and second tabs positioned on opposing sides of the flexible sleeve. The first tabs are offset from the second tabs so that the flexible liner exerts a continuous force about the outer periphery. The flexible liner further includes first and second layers. The first layer is formed from a material having a coefficient of expansion greater than material forming the second layer. Thus, the flexible liner expands or contracts directly proportional to the elements of the bearing assembly thereby compensating for changes in temperature.
