Radial Spherical Plain Bearings
Highly versatile, radial spherical plain bearings are known for their easy maintenance and for being an economical option.
Radial Spherical Plain Bearings Characteristics
They are used in low speed, and high radial load applications like:
- steering axles
- hydraulic cylinders
- steering linkages
- pivots
Simple Maintenance
High Reliability
Economy
Long Life
- Sliding surfaces are metal to metal
- Outer ring and inner ring are made of hardened rolling bearing steel
- Single or double fractured outer ring
- They can support high radial loads
- They can support high impact loads
- They are self-aligning in all direction
- There are multiple grooves in outer ring to dispense and maintain grease easily
- Lip seals prevent water and contaminants
- Phosphate coating and molybdenum disulfide coating can help in running-in phase and avoid galling and seizure
