outer surface 20 said convex outer surface 20 being generally complementary to the concave inner surface 18 of the outer bearing member 12 the inner bearing member 14 is additionally provided with a central bore 22 through which typically a bolt not shown is placed therethrough for operationally attaching the inner bearing member 14 to an associated machine element apparatus or the like not shown the outer bearing member 12 is typically provided with an outer cylindrical surface 24 which generally provides the assembling surface to which the outer bearing member 12 is attached to its associated machine element apparatus or the like not shown to enhance the bearing characteristics of the bearing 10 a liner 16 is provided between the inner and outer bearing members 12 and 14 respectively and is typically bonded or otherwise suitably attached to the concave inner surface 18 of the outer bearing member 12 it is generally within the area of assembling and more particularly to bonding the liner 16 to the outer bearing member that the present invention is directed more specifically as mentioned above the prior art forms of bearing manufacturing methods and those particularly relating to spherical bearings typically pre prepared the bearing liner before it was assembled within the bearing this typically has caused problems both in terms of quality control and in cost the present invention contemplates only certain pre preparation stages of the liner the final preparation taking place after the bearing is assembled the bearing liner 16 includes typically a nomex cloth as its basic foundation element in a typical application the nomex cloth which may be purchased from stern amp stern.
