PEL®-BH Spherical Plain Bearing

The advantage of a spherical plain bearing compared to bushings is accommodation of alignment errors, angular misalignment or deformation of components during operation (bending of pins, etc.) and wide tolerances.

HEF applies the same technology used on bushings to spherical plain bearings.

Increasing lubrication interval and load capacity compare to standard spherical plain bushings.
