Abstract: A bearing including a sidewall including an electrically conductive substrate, and an electrically non-conductive or low-conductive sliding layer coupled to the substrate, where the sidewall includes at least one circumferential rib feature protruding radially inward or radially outward from a bore defining a central axis, where the at least one circumferential rib feature has an aspect ratio between a circumferential length and an axial width of at least 2:1, where the circumferential rib feature is adapted to contact an opposing component such that at a point of contact the bearing has a void area free of sliding layer so as to provide electrical conductivity between the bearing and the opposing component.

Abstract: A bearing including: a sidewall including a substrate and a low friction layer overlying the substrate, where the sidewall further includes: an unformed section; at least one slot in the unformed section; and at least one protrusion extending from the unformed section forming a generally concave or convex cross-sectional shape in the sidewall.
