Product Description

Spherical bearing:

Spherical Bearing is a bearing that permits angular rotation about a central point in two orthogonal directions (usually within a specified angular limit based on the bearing geometry). Spherical Bearings are bearing elements on a plain bearing basis. They are used for static and dynamic power transmission, and have proved their worth in millions of instances.

Construction

Construction of spherical bearings can be hydrostatic or strictly mechanical. A spherical bearing by itself can consist of an outer ring and an inner ring and a locking feature that makes the inner ring captive within the outer ring in the axial direction only. The outer surface of the inner ring and the inner surface of the outer ring are collectively considered the raceway and they slide against each other, either with a lubricant or a maintenance-free polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) based liner. Some spherical bearings incorporate a rolling element such as a race of ball-bearings, allowing lower friction.

Application

Spherical bearings are used in countless applications, wherever rotational motion must be allowed to change the alignment of its rotation axis. A prime example is a tie rod on a vehicle suspension. The mechanics of the suspension allow the axle to move up and down, but the linkages are designed to control that motion in one direction only and they must allow motion in the other directions. Spherical bearings have been used in car suspensions, drive shafts, heavy machinery, sewing machines, and many other applications.
