PB Spherical Plain Bearing – Bronze Liner, Maintenance Required

PB Spherical Plain Bearing is a documented maintenance required series for industrial linkage or pivot applications. Steel/bronze sliding pair; lubrication groove and holes. Use the main image for identification and the full product description for model-by-model dimensions and load data.

MOQ: 50 pcs. Minimum order value USD 1,500; mixed orders and trial quantities welcome.

PB is a serviceable spherical plain bearing with a bronze liner at the sliding interface. It is aimed at compact, low-speed joints where periodic lubrication is feasible and a steel/bronze contact is desired. The catalogue covers 5–30 mm bores.

Typical Applications

Low-speed heavy pivots

Greased mechanical joints

Industrial mechanisms needing a bronze liner

Selection Guide

Begin with the housing and pin dimensions, then check the published load ratings and permissible tilt. A bronze-lined bearing still needs good alignment: if the pin bends or the housing clamps unevenly, load concentrates near the edge.

Installation & Maintenance

Keep the lubrication holes aligned with the machine’s grease path and service with clean lubricant.

FAQ

Lubrication groove and holes — what changes selection?
For slow, highly loaded motion, confirm how lubricant will reach the active contact zone.
Self-aligning spherical geometry — what should installers watch?
During overhaul, inspect both the liner and the pin surface; replacing only the bearing against a badly scored pin can repeat the same wear pattern quickly.
Industrial mechanisms needing a bronze liner — suitable duty?
Industrial mechanisms needing a bronze liner is a screening application for the PB series; final size follows the model table and actual joint duty.
