Spherical Bearings
Spherical bearings are specialized mechanical components that allow for rotational movement between two parts while accommodating misalignment. They consist of a spherical outer surface and a matching inner surface, enabling smooth motion in multiple directions. These bearings are commonly used in applications where flexibility and load distribution are essential, such as in automotive suspensions and industrial machinery.
The design of spherical bearings helps reduce friction and wear, extending the lifespan of the equipment they support. They can be made from various materials, including steel, plastic, and ceramics, depending on the specific requirements of the application, such as load capacity and environmental conditions.
