Steel-on-Steel Series
Spherical
Plain Bearings requiring maintenance (steel-on-steel) have hardened sliding
contact surfaces on both rings. The surfaces are typically treated with
molybdenum disulphide and phosphate.
It provides added wear resistance and wear-corrosion. However, Spherical Plain Bearings with
this sliding contact surface combination require regular relubrication. The high strength of the sliding
contact surfaces makes these bearings especially suitable for bearing
arrangements where heavy loads of alternating direction, shock loads, or heavy
static loads have to be accommodated.
AST has over 150 different Spherical Plain Bearings models composed of steel-on-steel and are divided into the following series:
- GEZ-ES Series – Steel-on-Steel, Inch Dimension, with lubrication groves
