Spherical Bearings

Also known as spherical bearings, all of these bearings contain a ball that pivots to accommodate misalignment. Use them in tight spots where a rod end shank won’t fit. Standard bearings require lubrication. Lubrication-free bearings have a PTFE-lined insert and do not require lubrication. Steel Housing with Steel Insert—Have a steel housing and insert with a chrome-plated, bearing steel ball that is heat treated for strength. Temperature range is –65° to +425° F for standard bearings; –65° to +275° F for lubrication-free bearings. Stainless Steel Housing with Stainless Steel Insert—Offering excellent corrosion resistance, these bearings have a Type 303 stainless steel housing and insert with a Type 440C stainless steel ball that is heat treated for strength. Temperature range is –65° to +425° F for standard bearings; –65° to +275° F for lubrication-free bearings. Metric Steel Housing with Steel Insert—Have a steel housing and insert with a chrome-plated steel ball. Temperature range is –30° to +300° F.
