Spherical plain bearings are used to accommodate shafts or rods with varying amounts of misalignment. They are designed to manage high radial loads and provide consistent performance under conditions of marginal lubrication, extreme speed and critical-application stress. Most spherical plain bearings consist of a plain bearing and ball bushing inside a lined, cylindrical housing that minimizes friction or provides self-lubrication. L
