Patent ID: 7820298

Claim:
An antifriction composite multilayer strip for use as a bearing part, such as a sliding bearing bushing comprising, a metallic backing in the form of a strip and a functional coating, the functional coating comprises a top layer with a friction-reducing effect, the top layer having a uniform thickness in the range from 2 μm to 220 μm, and an elastomer layer lying directly under the top layer, the elastomer layer having a smooth surface and a thickness in the range from 5 μm to 120 μm; wherein the metallic backing has a first and second side, the elastomer layer being coupled to at least one of the first and second sides of the metallic backing; wherein the top layer and the elastomer layer are film layers of dried lacquers forming such an intimate adhesive bond with each other that the antifriction composite multilayer strip is processable by rolling up into a roll and unrolling from the roll or deforming in the cold state without any damage or delamination of the functional coating from the backing.
