Spherical Ball Bushings

Spherical ball bushings are designed to handle high radial loads and ensure reliable performance even under marginal lubrication, high-speed, and critical stress conditions. They facilitate fluid movement, reducing friction and preventing damage to machinery. These bushings feature a spherically ground inner ring housed within a mating outer ring, without any rolling elements. This design accommodates varying amounts of shaft or rod misalignment, making them ideal for applications that require smooth and dependable movement.
Typical Applications Include:
Hydraulic Cylinders and Excavators: Often used in off-road vehicle suspensions.
Mining Trucks: A-frames, dump cylinders, and steering cylinders.
Bulldozers: Equalizer track bars, lift and tilt cylinders, and push blades.
For environments that are dirty and harsh, we offer this series with seals (denoted by the suffix 2RS) to provide additional protection.
