Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2006061012
Kind Code:
B1
Abstract:
Disclosed is a connecting rod for a combustion engine, comprising a small connecting-rod eye that is provided with a plain bearing surface and is used for accommodating a piston pin, and a large connecting-rod eye which is provided with a plain bearing surface and embraces a crankshaft journal. In order to very effectively and inexpensively prevent the piston pin and the crankshaft journal of said connecting rod from jamming and wearing off, a self-lubricating coating made of a thermally cured resin which contains embedded solid lubricant particles is applied directly to at least one of the plain bearing surfaces by means of rotary atomization.
