Radial spherical plain bearings are designed to accommodate radial and combined radial and axial loads, and also misalignment. This specific design includes a steel/steel sliding contact surface combination. The bearings require maintenance and can be relubricated only from the side.

• Designed for radial and combined radial and axial loads
• Suitable for heavy static, alternating or impact loads

These spherical plain bearings feature the same standard, steel-on-steel construction and have phosphate-treated sliding surfaces, dry-coated with molybdenum disulfide (MoS2). Our GEZ Series of spherical plain bearings have Bore Sizes that range from 1/2-inch up to 3-3/4 inches.

Spherical Plain Bearings utilize inner & outer rings with spherical sliding surfaces, and can accommodate heavy radial loads & bi-directional axial loads at the same time. They are produced in a wide variety of designs & materials to satisfy diverse demands such as those in the automation, construction, mining, transportation, off-highway equipment, farming & machine tool applications. Standard designs utilize carbon chromium steel on steel which is hardened, phosphated and treated with Molybdenum Disulfide (MoS2) to reduce friction. Most designs can be relubricated through annular grooves & lubrication holes in the outer rings. Bearings are also available in self lubricating designs utilizing PTFE lined races offering a maintenance free solution with lower friction. For corrosive environments, many sizes can be supplied in stainless steel construction.
