Abstract

A plain bearing, with a bearing base body of a metallic material and a plain bearing layer of a non-metallic material. The plain bearing layer is applied to the bearing base body either directly or indirectly via an intermediate layer of a metallic material applied to the bearing base body. The bearing base body of the metallic material or the intermediate layer of the metallic material is produced from an austenitic steel or from a metal alloy. The plain bearing layer of the non-metallic material is produced from polyetheretherketone (PEEK) or from polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE).

Claims (31)

1 . A plain bearing, comprising:

a bearing base body of a metallic material; and

a plain bearing layer of a non-metallic material produced from polyetheretherketone (PEEK) or from polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), and is applied to the bearing base body one of:

directly to the bearing base body or

indirectly to the bearing base body via an intermediate layer of a metallic material,

wherein:

the bearing base body or the intermediate layer is produced from an austenitic steel or an electrode metal.

2 . The plain bearing according to claim 1 , wherein the bearing base body or the intermediate layer is produced from an electrode metal.

3 . The plain bearing according to claim 1 , wherein the bearing base body has contours into which the plain bearing layer engages.

4 . The plain bearing according to claim 3 , wherein the contours are contoured as one of dovetail-like, honeycomb-like, waffle-like, or conical.

5 . The plain bearing according to claim 1 , wherein the bearing base body is an SLM component.

6 . The plain bearing according to claim 1 , wherein the intermediate layer is an SLM intermediate layer.

7 . A plain bearing, comprising:

a bearing base body of a metallic material; and

a plain bearing layer of a non-metallic material applied to the bearing base body one of:

directly to the bearing base body or

indirectly to the bearing base body via an intermediate layer of a metallic material,

wherein:

when the plain bearing layer is applied indirectly to the bearing base body via the intermediate layer, the intermediate layer is an SLM intermediate layer, and

when the plain bearing layer is applied directly to the bearing base body, the bearing base body is an SLM component.

8 . A method for producing a plain bearing, comprising:

providing a bearing base body of a metallic material is provided;

applying an intermediate layer of the metallic material is applied to the bearing base body via selective laser melting; and

applying a plain bearing layer of a non-metallic material to the intermediate layer by melting-on or melting-in.

9 . A method for producing a plain bearing, comprising:

producing a bearing base body via selective laser melting; and

applying a plain bearing layer of non-metallic material to the bearing base body by melting-on or melting-in.

10 . The method for producing a plain bearing according to claim 9 , wherein

the plain bearing layer is introduced in parallel or sequentially to production of the bearing base body and an intermediate layer by an additive production method.

11 . The plain bearing according to claim 2 , wherein the electrode metal is a CuCrZr1 alloy with 0.5% by weight to 1.2% by weight of Cr, 0.03% by weight to 0.3% by weight of Zr and with Cu in a remainder.

12 . The plain bearing according to claim 3 , wherein the contours are undercuts.
