One of our specialties is spherical bearings, which are used for a wide range of industrial and engineering applications. Read on to learn more.

What is a spherical bearing?

Spherical bearings are made up of two or more interlocking parts that form a spherical shape. The bearing itself is comprised of three main components: the inner and outer rings, which are part of the bearing housing, and the balls or rollers that make contact with the inner ring.

The inner ring fits snugly into a housing, while the outer ring has some space between it and the housing wall. When pressure is applied from outside the bearing (such as from an axle), a vacuum is created within the housing. This pulls the ball/roller into contact with the inner ring to spin freely without friction.

The benefits of spherical bearings

A spherical bearing permits angular rotation around a central point in two orthogonal directions. These types of bearings support a rotating shaft in the bore of the inner ring allowing it to move rotationally and angularly.

Spherical roller bearings have a high tolerance to shock loads. In addition, they can be set up to be self-aligning, making them a popular bearing type for machinery and other engineering applications.

Different types of spherical bearing

Spherical roller bearings are used in a diverse range of machines and appliances due to their versatility of design. Some key examples of where spherical bearings are used includes:

Vehicle and machine engines
Vehicle suspension
Driveshafts
Transmissions
Heavy civil machinery
Sewing machines
Robotics
Vibrators and shakers
Speed reducers
Conveyors and much more

Due to the diverse range of applications that spherical bearings address, many different spherical bearing types exist. Some examples include, but are not limited to:

Single-row barrel spherical bearings
Single row thrust spherical bearings
Double row convex and concave spherical bearings
Radial spherical bearings
Angular contact spherical bearings
Thrust spherical bearings
Rod-end spherical bearings

We endeavour to keep a broad range of spherical bearings in stock; however, if we don't have what you are looking for, we will attempt to source it through our vast industry network.
