The outer ring of this type of bearing has a spherical raceway that allows angular movement ofthe rings. This means that the bearing can accept high degrees of misalignment.Its internal design enables it to withstand very high radial loads and axial loads. Variants witha tapered bore allow fitting using an adapter sleeve.This type of bearing is particularly suited to heavy mechanical applications where it is difficult to align the seats and radial loads are high. It is well suited to severe operating conditions,involving impact or vibration (crushers, vibrating screens, heavy handling machinery, etc.).
