Fractured Race Spherical Plain Bearings
Fractured race spherical plain bearings permit rotation with low friction and angular misalignment. Typically these bearing support a rotating shaft in the bore of the inner ring that may be misaligned in respect to the outer ring. Spherical plain bearings are made of hardened carbon chromium steel or hardened stainless steel. Outer and inner rings can be phosphate coated to increase corrosion resistance. Spherical plain bearings are also available with seals.
