Classification:
Spherical plain bearings can be divided into several types based on their different structures and working principles.
- Rolling Bearings:
Structure: Consisting of inner and outer rings and rolling elements, which can be spherical, cylindrical, or conical.
Characteristics: High load-bearing capacity, low friction, and long service life.
Applications: Widely used in various mechanical equipment.
- Sliding Bearings:
Structure: Consisting of inner and outer rings and sliding surfaces, which can be made of metal, plastic, or composite materials.
Characteristics: Low friction, low noise, and simple maintenance, but relatively small load-bearing capacity.
Applications: Suitable for low-speed and light-load mechanical equipment.
- Ball Joint Bearings:
Structure: Composed of a ball head and a socket.
Characteristics: Strong angle adjustment ability, suitable for irregular motion mechanical equipment.
Applications: Widely used in the automotive, aviation, and other industries.
- Roller Bearings:
Structure: Consisting of inner and outer rings and rollers, which can be cylindrical or conical.
Characteristics: Relatively high load-bearing capacity.
Applications: Suitable for high-speed and heavy-load mechanical equipment, such as machine tools and heavy machinery.
- Classification by Load Direction and Nominal Contact Angle:
Radial Spherical Plain Bearings: Mainly bearing radial loads, including radial contact and angular contact types.
Thrust Spherical Plain Bearings: Mainly bearing axial loads, including axial contact and angular contact types.
- Classification by Outer Ring Structure:
Solid Outer Ring Spherical Plain Bearings, Single-Split Outer Ring Spherical Plain Bearings, Double-Split Outer Ring Spherical Plain Bearings, Double Half Outer Ring Spherical Plain Bearings.
- Classification by Whether Attached to or Installed on Rod Ends:
General Spherical Plain Bearings, Rod End Spherical Plain Bearings.
- Classification by Combination of Materials on Sliding Surfaces:
Steel/Steel Spherical Plain Bearings, Steel/Copper Alloy Spherical Plain Bearings, etc.
- Classification by Whether Lubricant Needs to Be Supplemented During Operation:
Lubricated Spherical Plain Bearings, Self-Lubricating Spherical Plain Bearings.
