Spherical plain bearings are ready-to-fit, standardised machine elements. The concave outer ring bore and the convex inner ring geometry allow spatial adjustment motion.
MOUETTTE Angular Contact Spherical Plain Bearings have two different series: Maintenance-free Angular contact spherical plain bearings and Angular contact Spherical plain bearings requiring maintenance.
MOUETTE Axial spherical plain bearings are complete units comprising shaft and housing locating washers with PTFE liner or with a steel/steel sliding contact surface.
Rod ends are spherical plain bearing units. They comprise a rod type housing, into which a spherical plain bearing is integrated, and have either a female thread in the body or a male thread on the body.
Hydraulic rod ends, which are fitted with radial spherical plain bearings, can support radial loads in a tensile or compressive direction, and transmit motion and loads with low moment levels.
