Product features and benefits: 

• Plain bearings can replace rolling-element bearings in many applications.

• Simpler designs and one-piece construction cut plain bearings' maintenance requirements.

• Larger contact areas let plain bearings bear more load, resist shocks, and tolerate misalignment.

Joint bearing structure than the rolling bearing is simple, it's mainly by a spherical within the inner ring and a spherical outer ring. Joint bearing is generally used in low speed of the swinging motion (that is, the angular motion), due to the sliding surface of spherical shape, can be tilted movement in certain Angle range (that is, the heart movement), the supporting shaft and the shaft shell hole concentricity is bigger, can still work normally.

Joint bearing can bear larger load. According to the different types and structure, can bear radial load, axial load or the joint of the radial, axial load. Because the inside is outside the sphere with composite material, so the bearing can produce self-lubrication at work. Oscillating motion is generally used in low speed, and low speed rotation, can also be tilted movement within a certain Angle, when the supporting shaft and shaft shell hole concentricity is bigger, can still work normally. Self-lubricating bearing joints used in water conservancy, professional machinery and other industries.

Joint bearing is widely used in engineering hydraulic oil cylinder, forging machine tools, engineering machinery, automation equipment, automobile shock absorber, hydraulic machinery and other industries.

When assembling joint bearing series, it is necessary to give special attention to outer ring segmentation position below. To avoid conform to act directly on the segmentation, segmentation must be maintained at right angles to conform to the direction.
