Angular Contact Spherical Plain Bearings

Angular contact spherical plain bearings are specialized bearings designed to accommodate both axial and radial loads in a single bearing. They consist of an inner ring with a spherical sliding surface and an outer ring with a corresponding concave surface. These bearings are self-aligning and capable of angular misalignment, allowing them to handle complex loads and accommodate shaft deflections. Angular contact spherical plain bearings are commonly used in applications where high axial and radial forces are present, such as in heavy-duty machinery, construction equipment, and automotive systems. They offer excellent load-carrying capacity, durability, and versatility for various demanding applications.
