Zusammenfassung: | The invention contemplates maintenance of uniform controlled pressure and temperature at the zone of bonding a fabric or the like liner to a bearing ring or the like, the pressure and temperature being at the levels required for optimum curing of the particular thermosetting material involved. The pressure is developed by axial compression of an elastomeric plug, which is so constrained that radial loading of the lining on the bearing element necessarily results from hydrostatic deformation of the plug. The heat supplied for curing also causes the plug to expand, but the invention provides for automatic compensation for plug expansion so as to maintain substantially constant pressure loading on the liner in the course of a curing cycle. Means are disclosed for the bonding of a plurality of lined bearing elements in a single batch processing cycle. |
