Spherical bearings utilize inner & outer rings with spherical sliding surfaces. They can accommodate heavy radial and axial loads at the same time. Suitable for supporting hydraulic cylinders to structures that can warp or twist.

A standard spherical bearing requires lubrication and maintenance. This style has hardened sliding surfaces with lubrication holes and grooves on the inner and outer components to be used for regular re-lubrication. This design also is sealed around the sliding surfaces to limit contamination that would cause premature wear. These bearings are especially well suited for heavy loads in different directions, heavy static loads, or shock loads.

This version has an extended inner ring to be used for proper spacing.
