plain bearings

plain bearings

Plain bearings,is the simplest type of bearing, comprising just a bearing surface and no rolling elements. In general,they are the least expensive type of bearing. They are also compact and lightweight, and they have a high load-carrying capacity.These bearings are used in many industries and across many applications where there is a need to cost-efficiently and reliably meet the challenge of oscillating movements and possible misalignment. From mining and construction equipment, farm and forestry machinery, all the way to forklift trucks and solar power equipment. ​

Benefits:

  • Suitable for heavy static and dynamic loads​
  • Multi-directional movements​
  • Accommodate misalignment
  • Virtually eliminate edge stresses and excessive stressing of adjacent components​
  • Accommodate deformation of surrounding components in operation​
  • Accommodate wide manufacturing tolerances and the use of cost-effective, welded assemblies​

Radial spherical plain bearings have an inner ring with a sphered convex outside diameter and an outer ring with a correspondingly sphered but concave inside surface.

Free-maintenance:

  • steel/PTFE sintered bronze
  • steel/PTFE fabric
  • steel/PTFE FRP

Required-mainrenance:

  • steel/steel

Rod ends consist of an eye-shaped head with integral shank that forms a housing for a spherical plain bearing. As a rule, rod ends are available with left- or right-hand female (internal) or male (external) threads. 

Free-maintenance:

  • steel/PTFE sintered bronze
  • steel/PTFE fabric
  • steel/PTFE FRP

Required-mainrenance:

  • Steel/steel rod ends consist of a rod end housing and a steel/steel radial spherical plain bearing from the standard assortment, where the outer ring is secured in the housing. 
  • Steel/bronze rod ends consist of a rod end housing and a steel/bronze spherical plain bearing .

applications

  • A-frames, dump cylinders, front and rear struts, and steering cylinders for mining trucks
  • Equalizer track bars, lift and tilt cylinders, push blades, trunnion balls and ripper blades for bulldozers
  • Articulated joint upper and lower steering cylinders and boom and bucket cylinders for wheel loaders
  • Stick and bucket cylinders for hydraulic excavators
  • Additional applications for space shuttles, heavy movable structures and miscellaneous vehicles
