 | ◎ CLI spherical plain bearing, or SPB, consists of two components; an inner ring with a spherical race or convex outside diameter and an outer ring with a spherical race or concave inside diameter.
◎ CLI Spherical plain bearings are thought to have originated as replacements for plain cylindrical sleeve bearings or bushings. In fact, spherical plain bearings are still occasionally referred to as ball bushings. Radial spherical plain bearings are designed to support heavy radial loads under misalignment. This feature allows the bearing to accommodate misalignments between the shaft and housing as well as oscillating movements at slow speeds.
◎ CLI Spherical plain bearings are primarily used in the following markets:
• Mining • Off-Highway Equipment • Construction • Agriculture
• Material Handling |
