Spherical Plain Bearings - Radial

Spherical Plain Bearings. Radial spherical plain bearings consist of an outer ring and an inner ring. This design makes them particularly suitable for bearing arrangements where oscillating movements are required and can accommodate misalignment.Radial spherical plain bearings have an inner ring with a sphered convex outside diameter and an outer ring with a correspondingly sphered but concave inside surface. Their design makes them particularly suitable for bearing arrangements where alignment movements between shaft and housing have to be accommodated, or where oscillating.

Thrust spherical plain bearings are available with sliding contact surface combination steel/PTFE FRP which are suitable for single direction axial loads or combined axial and radial loads.They have low coefficient of friction and are relatively insensitive to contaminants.
