backing plate
metallic component which supports sliding materials
3.1.2
cylindrical PTFE bearing
bearing consisting of a backing plate with a convex cylindrical surface (rotational element) and a
backing plate with a concave cylindrical surface between which a PTFE sheet and the mating material
form a curved sliding surface (see Figure 3)
Note 1 to entry: Cylindrical PTFE bearings are also used in combination with flat sliding elements and guides to
form free or guided bearings (see Figure 4)
3.1.3
guide
sliding element which restrains a sliding bearing from moving in one axis
3.1.4
lubricant
special grease used to reduce the friction and wear in the sliding surfaces
3.1.5
mating surface
hard smooth metallic surface in contact with the sliding material (PTFE, CM1 or CM2)
3.1.6

PTFE
thermoplastic material used for its low coefficient of friction
3.1.7
sliding materials
materials which form sliding surfaces
3.1.8
sliding surface
combination of a pair of flat or curved surfaces of different materials which allow relative
displacements
3.1.9
spherical PTFE bearing
bearing consisting of a backing plate with a convex spherical surface (rotational element) and a backing
plate with a concave spherical surface between which a PTFE sheet and the mating material form a
curved sliding surface (see Figure 1)
Note 1 to entry: Spherical PTFE bearings are also used in combination with flat sliding elements and guides to
form free or guided bearings (see Figure 2).
