Spherical Plain Bearings VS Plain Bearings
Spherical plain bearings differ from standard plain bearings in that they feature a spherical inner and outer ring design, allowing for self-alignment and oscillating motion under high radial or combined loads. In contrast, plain bearings (or bushings) are simpler sleeve-shaped components that support linear or rotary motion without the ability to compensate for misalignment.
While plain bearings are ideal for low-speed, moderate-load applications, spherical plain bearings are better suited for heavy-duty uses where shaft misalignment or angular movement is present, such as in hydraulic cylinders, construction, and mining equipment.
