Self-lubricating radial spherical plain bearings are found in applications where self-lubricating is required.
Where They Are Used
In low speed, and heavy radial load applications and where self-lubricating is required or re-lubrication can’t be performed.
Why
- Maintenance free and saves re-lubrication system in the housing or shaft
- Support very high radial loads
- Very long service life
Features
- Sliding surfaces are metal to PTFE
- Inner ring and outer ring are made of hardened rolling bearing steel
- Single or double fractured outer ring
- Spherical surface of inner ring is chrome plated
- High strength PTFE fabric with low coef. of friction is bonded to spherical surface of outer ring
- They can support very high radial loads
- Operating quietly
- They are self-aligning in all direction
