The SKF spherical bearings suitable for oscillating movements and that can accommodate misalignment. Rolling bearings only partly fulfil these requirements as they are generally designed for continuous rotation and can only accommodate limited misalignment. Therefore SKF manufactures spherical plain bearings, bushings and rod ends to provide an sensible solution to these challenges. SKF manufactures spherical plain bearings, bushings and rod ends in various designs and with different sliding contact surface combinations. Each combination and design has characteristic properties which makes it particularly acceptable for certain applications.
