Spherical Plain Bearings (Articulated Bearings) are specialized components designed to accommodate multi-directional movement while handling heavy radial, axial, and combined loads in demanding industrial applications.
Angular contact spherical bearings for combined loads: 25° contact angle for optimal load transfer Axial load capacity up to 70% of radial rating Precision-ground raceways Essential for: Gearboxes, robotic joints
Heavy-duty spherical bearings for extreme conditions: Extra-wide design with 30% higher load capacity Special alloy steel option (42CrMo4) Custom sealing solutions available Critical applications: Crane sheaves, offshore platforms
