Spherical Plain Bearings

Spherical plain bearings fall into the category of sliding bearings and consist of an outer and inner ring with spherically rounded surfaces. This unique design allows for tilting movements and compensates for misalignment errors caused during assembly or production, making them ideal for applications where flexibility is critical.

Advantages of spherical plain bearings:

• Flexibility and adaptability – allow for tilting and compensation for misalignment, improving system performance.
• Compensation for assembly and manufacturing errors – they effectively eliminate misalignment during assembly, reducing wear and increasing operational life.
• Resistance to harsh operating conditions – designed for use in industries with heavy loads and variable operating environments.
• High reliability – they provide stability and durability, reducing the need for frequent maintenance and replacements.

Industrial Applications

Spherical plain bearings are used in many industries where solutions offering flexibility, reliability, and long-lasting performance are required:

• Heavy Industry – metal-cutting equipment, rollers, conveyor belts, and other machines that endure load variations and challenging working conditions.
• Automotive Industry – steering systems, transmissions, and components for compensating assembly errors.
• Agriculture and construction industries – material handling machines, transport systems, and other applications in variable conditions.
