Spherical Bearings
Maintenance-free or grease-lubricated
Details
Spherical Bearings
Spherical plain bearings consist of a spherical inner ring and an outer ring that surrounds it. The outer ring is formed onto the inner ring, thereby enclosing it in a spherical manner. To achieve low-friction sliding properties, the contact surfaces between the rings can optionally be fitted with a self-lubricating liner (PTFE). These bearings are typically used in applications that require slow rotational and swiveling movements under high loads.
Custom Solutions
For example:
- Integrated Design: Locknut, Threadlock
- Geometry: Extended inner ring, Flange
- Configuration: Pressure-formed outer ring, Split ball, Loader slot, Swaging groove in outer ring
- Lubrication: Grease-filled, Lubrication bore, Self-lubricating coatings
- Material: Stainless steel, aluminum, copper alloys, nickel-based alloys
