j^^BC originated the precision ground single fracture spherical plain bearing and continues to be the leader in design and innovation. Listed below are the basic types of spherical plain bearings that RBC makes with pertinent selection criteria. RADIAL TYPE SPHERICAL PLAIN BEARINGS STANDARD SERIES Designed to support heavy radial loads under misalignment. These bearings also possess moderate thrust loading capability. They are non-separable with a single fractured outer ring, and are available in open or sealed de- signs and inch or metric sizes. With an extended inner ring, the need for...

RADIAL TYPE SPHERICAL PLAIN BEARINGS EXTENDED LIFE SERIES B-LSSQ and MB-SSQ SERIES B-LNMSS and MB-NMSS SERIES Up to 300% improved service life provided by innovative lubrica- tion system. The patented system distributes lubrication to the load zone even when no load reversal exists and allows re- lubrication without removing the load. These bearings provide an increased life to many problem applications. Available in inch or metric sizes. RBC's DuraLube™ self-lubricating spherical plain bearings pro- vide long life in demanding applications. Grease-free operation is accomplished through the...

FEATURED PRODUCT Long Life Spherical Plain Bearing Inner Ring Circumferential Groove Circular Lube Channels Outer Ring Tough applications in construction and material handling requires a spherical plain bearing with longer life, less maintenance and less downtime than standard spherical plain bearings. A bearing with total interchangeability to standard designs is preferred. RBC engineering developed the QuadLube® spherical plain bearing after observing the three predominant factors which contribute to the failure of spherical plain bearings: 3) Neglected lubrication intervals Each factor...

FEATURED PRODUCT Long Life Spherical Plain Bearing Lubrication Flow Spherical Plain Bearing Spherical Plain Bearing The innovative design of the RBC QuadLube® interconnecting lubricating groove system ensures a more efficient distribution of the lubricant by providing channels that transport the grease throughout the entire bearing, including into the contact area of the bearing under load. In cases of unidirectional load or when lubrication intervals are missed, the groove system retains extra lubricant where it is needed for added margin of performance. In the dirtiest of environments the...
