Plain bearings — Robust and flexible at the same time

Plain bearings have no rolling elements and have a large sliding surface, which can absorb particularly high forces. A big advantage over bearings with rolling elements is their insensitivity to shocks. Our spherical plain bearings are suitable for swiveling, tilting and rotating movements. The design as a joint head facilitates the attachment of the spherical plain bearings.

Radial spherical plain bearings

Radial Spherical Plain Bearings - Requiring Maintenance

Suitable for swivelling, tilting and rotational movements, heavy static loads, heavy alternating loads and shock loads. The sliding contact surface combinations steel/steel and steel/bronze need a regular maintenance and relubrication.

Radial Spherical Plain Bearings - Maintenance Free

Suitable for swivelling, tilting and rotational movements with a constant load direction. React more sensitive to shock loads and alternating loads than bearings that require maintenance. For low friction coefficient. The sliding contact surface combination PTFE/chrome steel needs no relubrication.

Rod ends

Rod Ends - Requiring Maintenance

Bearing units that consist of a spherical plain bearing and a rod head with internal or external thread or welding end. Suitable for swivelling, tilting and rotational movements, heavy static loads, heavy alternating loads and shock loads. The sliding contact surface combinations steel/steel and steel/bronze need a regular maintenance and relubrication.
