Spherical plain bearings

Spherical plain bearings are mechanical components designed to allow rotary and oscillatory movements in different directions, even in the presence of misalignment. Rollon offers spherical plain bearings that comply with DIN ISO 12240. Thanks to their design, spherical plain bearings are essential in many industrial sectors. In areas such as industrial automation, Rollon’s Premium Line is ideal for high speeds thanks to its integrated roller bearings. For those looking for an optimal balance between quality and price, the Basic Line and Tesno offer reliability in applications requiring precision and robustness.

What is the difference between spherical plain bearings for axial and radial loads?

The main difference between spherical plain bearings for axial loads and spherical plain bearings for radial loads concerns the type of load they are designed to handle and the direction of movement. Spherical plain bearings for radial loads are primarily designed to support radial loads, i.e. perpendicular to the bearing axis. Spherical plain bearings for axial loads, on the other hand, can support loads parallel to the bearing axis.
