Thrust Spherical Plain Bearings
High-Load for Axial Motion Applications
General Information
We supply a complete range of Thrust Spherical Plain Bearings, both original and compatible types, sourced from leading manufacturers including FAG, INA, , and SKF. These bearings are designed to accommodate axial loads under oscillating movements and are especially effective in applications where angular misalignment must be compensated.
Thrust spherical plain bearings consist of a steel outer ring and a spherical sliding contact surface, typically coated or lined with PTFE or similar low-friction materials. Their robust construction and self-aligning properties make them ideal for slow, heavy-duty axial loads and for installation in hard-to-reach or maintenance-intensive locations.
Available in maintenance-free and requiring-maintenance variants, these bearings offer reliable operation even under shock loads, edge loading, or in environments where contaminants are present. Worldwide shipping is available for all models, with full technical support from our specialists.
