Spherical plain bearings and rod ends Spherical plain bearings are ready-to-fit precision machine elements. Due to the outer ring with its concave inner slideway and the inner ring with its curved outer slideway, they can perform spatial adjustment motions. The bearings can support static loads and are suitable for tilt and swivel motion.

Our spherical bearings are normally mounted in a pre-designed housing, while the rod ends are provided in a housing that is attached to the linkage by the integral thread. Rod ends are available in both left and right hand - as well as male and female thread designs for exceptional versatility.
