Radial spherical plain bearings
Their design is particularly suitable for accommodating alignment movements between shaft and housing, or where oscillating or recurrent tilting or slewing movements at relatively slow sliding speeds must be possible, often with heavy loads.

Angular contact spherical plain bearings
The sliding contact surfaces of these bearings are spherical in shape and inclined at an angle to the bearing axis, and consequently these bearings are well suited for accommodating combined (radial and axial) loads.

Thrust spherical plain bearings
With the bearing shaft and housing washers having convex and concave spherical surfaces, respectively, these bearings are intended to accommodate axial loads primarily, but also combined (radial and axial) loads.

Rod ends
Consisting of an eye-shaped head with integral shank that forms a housing for a spherical plain bearing, and available for specific applications, for example, attached to the end of a piston rod or base of a hydraulic cylinder.
