Thrust spherical plain bearings are designed to accommodate axial and combined radial and axial loads. This specific design includes a steel/PTFE FRP sliding contact surface combination that is maintenance-free. However, relubrication, which can be applied from both sides, can extend bearing service life.
Designed for axial and combined radial and axial loads
Separable shaft and housing washers enable easier mounting
Long service life and maintenance-free
Relatively insensitive to contaminants
Low coefficient of friction
