Abstract:
Bottom bearings may be configured to bear the weight of a vertical shaft. In some implementations, a bottom bearing may include a first half-cylinder including a first shoulder and a first inside surface. The bottom bearing may also include a second half-cylinder including a second shoulder and a second inside surface. The first shoulder and second shoulder are configured to bear the weight of the vertical shaft by exerting an upward force on a sleeve affixed to the vertical shaft. A method of manufacturing a bottom bearing may include the steps of forming a cylinder from an ultra-high-molecular-weight (UHMW) polyethylene, wherein the cylinder includes a shoulder, an inside surface, and a central axis. The method may further include cutting the cylinder along the central axis to form the first half-cylinder and the second half-cylinder.

Claim (Index 14):
The bottom bearing of  claim 13 , further comprising at least one grease zert inserted in the at least one inlet, the at least one grease zert configured to provide grease from outside the bottom bearing into the interior space.
