Plain Bearings

Rod end bearings are used on the ends of cylinders, linkages, rods, and shafts to take up angular misalignment between connected parts. They consist of a spherically-shaped inner ring and a cylindrical bore for shaft mounting. Rod ends offer greater mounting convenience and provide a compact, lightweight, economical design.

Spherical plain bearings are used to accommodate shafts or rods with varying amounts of misalignment. They are designed to manage high radial loads and provide consistent performance under conditions of marginal lubrication, extreme speed and critical-application stress. Spherical Plain Bearings have an inner ring with a sphere convex outside surface and an outer ring with a corresponding sphere but concave inside surface. Their design makes them particularly suitable for bearing arrangements where alignment movements between shaft and housing have to accommodate, or where oscillating or recurrent tilting movements must be permitted at relatively slow sliding speeds.
