Radial spherical plain bearings have an inner ring with a sphered convex outside diameter and an outer ring with a correspondingly sphered but concave inside surface. Their design makes them particularly suitable for bearing arrangements where alignment movements between shaft and housing have to be accommodated, or where oscillating or recurrent tilting or slewing movements must be possible at relatively slow sliding speeds, often accompanied with heavy loads. Bearing Data Dimension Standards: ISO 12240-1:1998, dimension series E. Tolerances: ISO 12240-1:1998. Permissible Operating Temperature Range: If the load carrying capacity of the bearings is to be fully exploited, the temperature range must be narrowed. Depending on the application, it is possible to operate at temperatures above the upper limit for brief periods.
