IKO Spherical Bushings are self-aligning sperical plain bushings that have inner and outer rings with spherical sliding surfaces, and can take a large radial load and a bi-directional axial load at the same time.
There are many types of Spherical Bushings, but they are basically divided into steel-on-steel types and maintenance-free types according to the kind of sliding surfaces.
In addition to this, we have wide range of goods, Pilloballs, L-Balles, etc.

Steel-on-steel Spherical Bushings have inner and outer rings of high carbon chromium bearing steel, of which sliding surface are phosphate-treated and then dry-coated with molybdenum disulfide (MoS2).
They can, therefore, operate with low torque, and have excellent wear resistance and large load capacity.
Maintenance-free Spherical Bushings consist of an outer ring which has a special PTFE liner reinforced with copper alloy meshes on the sliding surface, and a spherical inner ring of which sliding surface has a hard chromium plating.
Creep deformation due to compressive load is small, and wear resistance is superior. Thus, they are maintenance-free and can be used for extended periods of time without re-lubrication.
