Mounting

Spherical bearings differ from ‘the head of’ the rod ends because they are contained in a cylindrical housing enabling them to be mounted in the conventional manner for journal support.
Ensure that the bore into which a bearing is fitted is sized correctly.
An undersized bore may considerably increase the rotational resistance of the ball within its housing, with obvious detrimental affects on the performance of the bearing.
To ensure correct operation of the bearing, we recommend that bores be provided toleranced in accordance with the table.
