Spherical Plain Bearings

Spherical Plain Bearings

Spherical roller bearings — variable shaft guidance and extremely high load capacity

Spherical roller bearings have two rings with barrel-shaped rollers. Therefore, they are suitable for heavy radial loads. They can also withstand axial forces. Due to the possibility of skewing they compensate for misalignment and deflections of the shaft.

Features of this design

Main dimensions according to DIN 635-2. Double row. Support extremely high radial and relatively high axial forces in both directions. Ideal for combined loads in both directions. Offer an excellent compensation of misalignment. Available with cylindrical and conical bore (for fixing adapter sleeve).

Material description of spherical roller bearings

Spherical roller bearings made of rolling bearing steel are cost-effective and can withstand very high loads. The rolling bearing steel is wear-resistant, shock-resistant, conductive and magnetic.


A spherical plain bearing (Rod end) is known for its good wear resistance, manufactured to withstand big radial load and axial load from any direction. It is suitable for both production and construction machinery.


Spherical plain bearings have spherical sliding surfaces on their inner and outer wheels. They are self-aligning bearings manufactured to handle high radial loads and axial loads in two directions simultaneously. There are various types of spherical plain bearings, categorized into oil-supply type and non-oil-supply type, based on the sliding surface. These bearings are designed for low running torque, wear resistance, and the ability to withstand high loads. They are particularly suitable for conditions with alternating and impact loads.


Universal joint bearings are spherical flat bearings designed to handle high loads, low running torque, wear resistance, and self-aligning properties. They are manufactured to be especially suitable for conditions with alternating and impact loads, capable of handling large radial loads and axial loads in both directions.


Universal joint bearings utilize ball connections to facilitate power transmission between different shafts in mechanical structures, particularly in automobile drive trains and other systems. As a vital component of automobile bearing manufacture, they undergo precise manufacturing to ensure smooth power transmission in complex drive train systems.
