Angular Contact Spherical Plain Bearings
High-Load Oscillating Applications
General Information
We supply a wide range of angular contact spherical plain bearings, offering both original and compatible versions from industry-leading manufacturers such as FAG, INA, SKF, NTN, and others. These bearings are engineered to accommodate combined radial and axial loads, particularly when axial loads are predominant and act in one direction, thanks to their specific angular contact geometry.
Angular contact spherical plain bearings are characterized by an inner ring with a sphered convex outside surface and an outer ring with a correspondingly sphered concave inside surface. Their construction allows for high load-carrying capacity and angular misalignment compensation in static and dynamic applications. These bearings are ideal for oscillating movements under heavy loads and for applications with alternating or impact loads.
Our selection includes maintenance-required (steel/steel) and maintenance-free (composite or PTFE-lined) versions, available in different contact angles and with or without seals. All models can be supplied globally with expert support for selection, installation, and fit verification.
