Radial Spherical Plain Bearings
Reliable Performance in Oscillating and Heavy-Load Applications
General Information
We supply a wide selection of radial spherical plain bearings, available in both original and compatible versions from leading global manufacturers such as SKF, FAG, INA and others. These bearings are specifically engineered to accommodate radial loads under oscillating or slow rotational movement, often under heavy-duty conditions and misalignment scenarios.
Radial spherical plain bearings feature an inner ring with a sphered convex outside surface and an outer ring with a correspondingly concave inside surface. This design enables self-alignment and high load capacity, even with shaft deflection or housing deformation. They are available in maintenance-free or requiring-maintenance versions, depending on the application environment and load requirements.
We offer models with steel-on-steel contact, PTFE liners, and maintenance-free composite materials. Sealing options include open, single-lip (RS), and double-lip (2RS) configurations. Our technical team supports selection based on radial clearance, sliding surface material, and housing fit. All models include worldwide shipping and application engineering support.
Common Applications
- Hydraulic cylinders and heavy equipment joints
- Construction and earth-moving machinery
- Industrial automation and robotic arms
- Mining equipment and crushing systems
- Railway bogies and suspension systems
- Agricultural implements and articulated steering
- Forging and pressing machinery
- Offshore and marine equipment
Key Features
- Accommodates high radial loads with low rotational speed
- Self-aligning to compensate for angular misalignments
- Available in maintenance-free (PTFE composite) or lubricated steel-on-steel
- Various sealing options (open, RS, 2RS) for contaminated environments
- Wide range of sizes and dimensional standards (ISO, DIN)
- Sliding surface combinations: steel/PTFE, steel/bronze, steel/steel
- Corrosion-resistant materials available for demanding environments
Ordering Support
We assist in selecting radial spherical plain bearings based on load direction, movement type, housing fit, and lubrication preference. We also support cross-referencing OEM part numbers and dimensional matching for retrofits or new designs. All products are delivered with technical datasheets and fitment guidelines tailored to your industry.
We provide original and compatible radial spherical plain bearings designed to meet or exceed OEM specifications. Please note: we are not affiliated with any trademark owners. All trademarks are the property of their respective owners and are used for identification and compatibility purposes only.
