RBC Bearings BH2024LSS 1.250 " Bore x 2.438 " OD x 1.390 " Width High Misalignment Sealed Spherical Plain Bearing
This RBC spherical plain bearing is unsealed and is suitable for pivoting, high load bearing applications where angular misalignment is required, such as in hydraulic cylinder rod ends. Its outer race has a single fracture for ease of inner ring installation, its inner and outer rings have grooves and oil holes for ease of lubrication, and its wide inner ring cross section provides high misalignment adjustment. This bearing's inner and outer rings are manufactured from through-hardened American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) 52100 bearing quality steel and heat treated to increase hardness for optimum wear resistance. Its spherical contact surfaces are precision ground to maximize surface-to-surface contact of inner and outer rings. This bearing is phosphate treated prior to coating with a dry film lubricant for corrosion resistance and it has a maximum operating temperature of 500 degrees F. This spherical plain bearing is suitable for use in vehicle suspensions and heavy equipment articulated joints.

Roller bearings use rolling elements to maintain the separation between moving parts to reduce rotational friction and support radial and axial loads. These elements can be one of the following types: ball, cylindrical, spherical, barrel, needle, spindle, or tapered. All roller bearings are open, shielded, or sealed. Sealed bearings are lubricated with oil or grease in the bearing factory, while open and shielded bearings are meant to be lubricated in place, with periodic reapplication of lubrication, based on use. The shield protects the working parts of the bearing from environmental debris that may be introduced and could reduce the ball bearing speed and lifespan. Rolling bearings are used in a range of applications from agricultural machinery to conveying equipment, robotics, dental equipment, elevators, rolling mills, ship rudder shafts, and aggregate crushers, among others.
RBC Bearings manufactures a variety of bearings, pins, rollers, and shafts, and other products for industrial and aerospace applications. The company, founded in 1919, is headquartered in Oxford, CT, and meets International Organization for Standardization (ISO) TS 16949 and 9001 standards for quality assurance.
