Spherical bronze bearing, spherical plain bearings

Radial spherical plain bearings are designed with an inner ring that features a convex, spherical outer diameter and an outer ring that has a concave, spherical inner surface. This structure is ideal for applications requiring the accommodation of alignment movements between the shaft and housing, or for instances where oscillating, recurring tilting, or slewing motions are necessary at slower sliding speeds, often under heavy loads.

Our company offers an extensive range of radial spherical plain bearings, available in various combinations of sliding contact surfaces.

The Radial Spherical Plain Bearings are engineered for heavy-duty usage and require no maintenance. They are akin to the GE.ES series, but distinguish themselves with an inner ring composed of a copper alloy embedded with solid lubricant. The bearings’ sliding surfaces are crafted from a combination of steel and copper alloy, materials renowned for their excellent performance in tribological applications – the study of friction, wear, and lubrication. The copper alloy inner ring enhances sliding wear resistance due to its high hardness and mechanical strength.

A key advantage of these bearings is their maintenance-free nature, attributed to the incorporation of self-lubricating dry sliding materials. This eliminates the need for regular lubrication, cutting down on maintenance costs and time. However, it’s important to note that these bearings are less rigid than steel/steel bearings, making them more prone to deformation.

These bearings are capable of supporting large loads. Depending on their specific type and structure, they can handle radial loads, axial loads, or a combination of both. This versatility makes them suitable for various applications, including water conservancy machinery.

Radial Spherical Plain Bearings are designed for heavy-duty tasks and are maintenance-free. They feature a copper alloy inner ring with a solid lubricant and have sliding surfaces of steel and copper alloy, offering high wear resistance and the capacity to support substantial loads.

Radial spherical plain bearings are Available in metric sizes.
