Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A bearing device includes a body, a circular cover, and a through hole commonly defined through both the body and the cover. The body is an injection molded piece made from metal powder and molten binder. The cover is an injection molded piece made from metal powder and molten binder. Two passages are defined between the body and the cover, and each passage communicates the through hole with an exterior of the bearing device, whereby lubricant can flow from the through hole to the passages. A bearing assembly having the bearing device is also provided, and a method of manufacturing the bearing device is further provided.
