Plain Bearings
Low-Friction Operation, High Load Capacity, and Long Service Life
Plain bearings are essential components in motion control systems, designed to support radial, axial, or combined loads without the use of rolling elements. Known for their simplicity, reliability, and ability to operate in harsh environments, plain bearings are widely used in heavy-duty equipment, agricultural machinery, automation systems, and construction applications. Their robust structure makes them ideal for oscillating, pivoting, or linear movements where space is limited and maintenance must be minimized.
At ACOTEQ, we supply a full range of plain bearings, including radial spherical plain bearings, thrust spherical plain bearings, angular contact spherical plain bearings, and a wide selection of rod ends. All components are available in original and compatible versions, suitable for industrial-scale projects and compatible with leading brands like SKF, INA, FAG, and others. Whether you need standard metric sizes or custom-engineered options, we support your project with worldwide shipping and experienced technical support.
Plain bearings are selected based on key factors such as load direction, motion type, housing fit, alignment requirements, and environmental exposure. Our catalog includes bearings with different liner materials (PTFE, bronze, composite), surface treatments, and seal options to suit dry-running, lubricated, or maintenance-free configurations. These bearings are commonly used in pivot points, steering linkages, hydraulic cylinders, and structural joints—especially where shock loads and angular misalignment occur.
Our engineering support includes part number identification, cross-reference matching, and assistance in selecting dimensionally compatible replacements for obsolete or hard-to-find items. Whether you’re sourcing components for new equipment or replacing worn parts in the field, we help you make technically sound and cost-effective decisions.
All plain bearings we supply are built for long service life, with high resistance to wear, corrosion, and deformation under load. We work closely with OEMs, MRO teams, and system integrators to provide industrial-grade solutions that ensure stability and performance in motion-critical assemblies.
