Spherical plain bearings, plain bushes, rod ends

Since the introduction of the spherical plain bearing, ELGES spherical plain bearings and ELGES rod ends have had a decisive influence on the development and technological progress of these precision components. This led to extensive product innovations and many pioneering applications only became possible due to the know-how of the company group. Furthermore, the new maintenance-free ELGOGLIDE bearings as spherical plain bearings, cylindrical bushes or combinations of radial, angular contact and axial bearings continue the tradition of this product group and at the same time represent state-of-the-art engineering and economical bearing solutions. Spherical plain bearings are ready-to-fit, standardised machine elements. The concave outer ring bore and the convex inner ring geometry allow spatial adjustment motion. The bearings can support static loads and are suitable for tilting and swivel motion. They can compensate for shaft misalignment, are not subject to edge stresses under misalignment and allow substantial manufacturing tolerances in the adjacent construction. Rod ends are spherical plain bearing units. They comprise a rod type housing, into which a spherical plain bearing is integrated, and have an external or internal thread. Rod ends are used as connecting levers and connecting rods and as connecting elements between cylinders and their adjacent parts in hydraulic and pneumatic cylinders. Spherical plain bearings and rod ends are available in numerous designs, dimension series and versions. The ELGOGLIDE types are maintenance-free the types requiring maintenance are easily maintained and extremely reliable in operation and have a long operating life. Catalogue 238 describes the range of ELGES spherical plain bearings and ELGES rod ends. It has been completely revised from Catalogue 236. Any information in previous editions which does not concur with the data in this edition is therefore invalid. The principal changes relate to the maintenance-free sliding material ELGOGLIDE. These are: increased basic load ratings extended sliding travel. This gives a significant increase in bearing life. In addition to the catalogue, the INA CD medias professional represents a further service. This CD is designed as an advisory system. It contains an information section giving detailed product descriptions, selected application examples with design guidelines, calculation software and a lexicon of terminology relevant to rolling bearing technology.

Ordering designation
The ordering designation gives an abbreviated description of the product. It consists of: the designation and suffixes. Marking on the product Do not use the marking on the bearing for ordering. It may be incomplete or not sufficiently specific. Designation (Figure 1 and 2) Every product has a designation. This is given in the dimension tables and describes the standard design of the bearing. The designation consists of several parts. It indicates: the design the type of product (spherical plain bearing, rod end, plain bush) the dimensional component the bore diameter the type of sliding contact surface. Product index, see page 8. Suffixes (Figure 1 and 2) The suffixes are placed after the designation. They supplement the designation and indicate: variants on the standard design, e.g. lip seals on both sides 2RS special designs. Special designs are possible only by agreement. Index of suffixes, see page 13. Ordering the product (Figure 1 and 2) Ordering procedure: determine the product type required take the ordering designation from the dimension table. The correct sequence of characters must be observed when ordering. Further ordering examples are given in the product sections.

Load carrying capacity and life
Spherical plain bearings and rod ends The size of spherical plain bearing or rod end required depends on the requirements for: load carrying capacity motion rating life operational reliability. The direction and type of load determine: the bearing type the sliding contact surface. The load carrying capacity is measured in terms of: the basic dynamic load rating Cr (Ca) (page 20) the basic static load rating C0r (C0a) (page 21). Cylindrical plain bushes The principal factors influencing the dimensioning of cylindrical plain bushes and their life calculation include: the magnitude and type of load the motion of the bearing the frequency of motion the load frequency under pulsating or alternating load. The load carrying capacity is measured in terms of: the basic dynamic load rating Cr (page 20) the basic static load rating C0r (page 21). Concentric constant load F Load values can be used directly in the life calculation if they meet the following criteria: they act in a radial direction only on radial spherical plain bearings, angular contact spherical plain bearings and cylindrical plain bushes (Figure 1 and Figure 2) they act in a concentric, axial direction only on axial spherical plain bearings (Figure 3) their magnitude and direction does not change during operation. In this case, the load value F for life calculation is identical to the calculation value P (F = P).

Load carrying capacity and life Basic load ratings Contact pressure
The load carrying capacity is measured in terms of the basic static and dynamic load ratings. Basic load ratings are always defined by the manufacturer of the bearings. They cannot therefore be compared in a simplistic manner with data from other manufacturers. Basic dynamic load rating The basic dynamic load rating Cr (Ca) is a parameter for calculating the life of: spherical plain bearings, rod ends and plain bushes under dynamic loads. It is dependent on the sliding contact surface and has a significant influence on the life of spherical plain bearings, rod ends and plain bushes. Dynamic load A spherical plain bearing, plain bush or rod end is subject to dynamic load if, under load it undergoes swivelling, tilting or rotary motion. Any relative motion between the sliding surfaces, even if superimposed on the main motion, increases wear and causes material fatigue. It must always be: allocated to the dynamic load case taken into consideration in the life calculation. Calculation of basic dynamic load rating The contact pressures actually occurring in a spherical plain bearing or a plain bush are dependent on: the load the sliding contact surface the osculation conditions the installation situation. Due to the influence of these factors, it is not possible to determine the pressures precisely. The basic dynamic load ratings (dimension table) therefore include (Table 1): a load parameter K specific to the material the projected load-bearing area. C = projected load-bearing area specific load parameter The basic load rating C is the maximum permissible dynamic load. The basic load ratings can only be fully utilised if the load: acts in a radial direction only on radial and angular contact spherical plain bearings, rod ends and plain bushes acts in a concentric, axial direction only on axial spherical plain bearings. 20

Basic static load rating The basic static load rating C0r (C0a) is used if spherical plain bearings, plain bushes and rod ends are subjected to load while stationary. It indicates the load that a spherical plain bearing, plain bush or rod end can support at room temperature without damage to the sliding surfaces. This is subject to the precondition that the components adjacent to the bearing must prevent deformation of the bearing. If the basic static load rating C0r (C0a) is used to the full, the shaft and housing must be made from high-strength materials. Rod ends In this case, the basic static load rating C0r indicates the load carrying capacity of the rod end housing under static tensile load. At room temperature, the basic static load rating includes a safety factor of at least 1,2 in relation to the yield point of the housing material. The permissible load on rod ends is lower for pulsating or alternating loads. Calculation of rod ends requiring maintenance using load factors fb: see Table 1, page 146; calculation of maintenance-free rod ends using load factors fb: see Table 1, page 128.
Contact pressure If the required life is to be achieved, the specific bearing load must be matched to the actual operating conditions. The specific bearing load indicates the contact pressure in the bearing. It is the decisive criterion for assessing the suitability of a plain bearing in the particular application. Under extreme loading conditions, for example a high axial load acting on radial spherical plain bearings, elastic deformation of the bearing and housing may lead to contact pressure concentrations. Please consult INA for further information. The contact pressure p of a spherical plain bearing is calculated from: the basic dynamic load rating Cr (Ca) the specific material parameter K the equivalent bearing load P. P p = K ----Cr P p = K -----Ca
p N/mm2 Contact pressure K N/mm2 Specific load parameter (Table 1) P N Equivalent dynamic bearing load Cr (Ca) N Basic dynamic load rating (dimension table).
p v value In conjunction with the mean sliding speed, the value p for bearing pressure is used to calculate the frictional energy generated in spherical plain bearings. The p v value (N/mm2 mm/s) is: the product of the bearing pressure and the sliding speed.

Load carrying capacity and life Predimensioning
If the basic dynamic load rating Cr (Ca) is used to the full, this often leads to a severe reduction in the operating life of bearings with metallic sliding surfaces. The degree to which the basic load rating is utilised should therefore always be matched to the required operating life. This is indicated by: the ratio Cr (Ca)/P. The ratio Cr (Ca)/P must be not less than 1. Depending on the application and bearing type, it is between 1 and 10. For the purposes of predimensioning, values are stated for the ratio Cr (Ca)/P (Table 2 and Table 3). In conjunction with the diagram, this allows preliminary selection of the appropriate bearing size (Figure 10). Predimensioning is not a substitute for more extensive bearing calculation.

Load carrying capacity and life Bearing motion Rating life
Spherical plain bearings are principally intended to support high loads under oscillating motion. The term bearing motion describes the dynamic conditions in the bearing. These are essentially characterised by: the magnitude of the motion the speed of the motion the frequency of the motion. Motion parameter swivel angle and tilt angle Swivel motion is defined as the oscillating motion of the two bearing rings in relation to each other about the axis of the bearing. Swivel angle The centring angle described by the two extreme points of the motion is defined as the swivel angle (Figure 11). This describes the motion between the two extreme points. Tilt angle In tilting motion, the inner ring or shaft locating washer moves relative to the outer ring or housing locating washer in a direction transverse to the bearing axis. The axes of the relevant bearing rings intersect at the tilt angle (Figure 12). The permissible tilt angle is given in the dimension tables, based on full utilisation of the basic load ratings. Combined swivel and tilt motion The motion angle 1 corresponding to the sliding distance can be calculated for linear and ellipsoid motion (Figure 13). Linear motion: 1 =

Rotary motion The sliding distance covered in a motion cycle motion from the start point to the return point and back corresponds to twice the arc length of the angle or . For this reason, an angle = 180 should be used for rotary motion in life calculation. Frequency of motion The number of motions per time period the frequency has a significant influence on the life of spherical plain bearings and cylindrical plain bushes. The frictional energy generated in the bearing is influenced by the frequency of motion as well as the load, coefficient of friction and the magnitude of the motion. It is dependent on the relevant sliding contact surface and must not exceed the permissible p v values. The frequency can only be used for calculating the mean sliding speed in applications with continuous operation or periodic stationary periods. Intermittent operation In this case, the mean sliding speed during one motion cycle must be used. Life Calculation of the theoretical life is based on a large number of laboratory tests and assumes certain operational data: lithium soap multi-purpose greases with solid additives are used in spherical plain bearings with a steel/steel sliding contact surface. The life is defined as the number of swivel motions or operating hours that can be achieved by a sufficiently large number of spherical plain bearings or cylindrical plain bushes under identical operating conditions before certain failure criteria are met. The failure criteria are defined by the manufacturer as test limit values related to: an amount of wear dependent on the bearing size or an upper friction limit which is exceeded. The amount of wear and increase in friction are dependent on the sliding contact surface and the application. Under identical operating conditions, the operating life achieved may therefore differ significantly.
Calculation of the theoretical life gives comparative values for the bearings. They can be used to assess the greater or lesser performance of the bearings selected. Life calculation: Maintenance-free spherical plain bearings (page 63 to 71) Maintenance-free cylindrical plain bushes (page 72, 73) Maintenance-free rod ends (page 63 to 71 and 128, 129) Spherical plain bearings requiring maintenance (page 97 to 99) Rod ends requiring maintenance (page 97 to 99 and 146 to 148). Operating life The operating life is the number of motion cycles or operating hours achieved in practice by a spherical plain bearing or a cylindrical plain bush. It may differ from the calculated theoretical life. The operating life is dependent on factors including: the type and magnitude of load any shocks occurring the sealing arrangement corrosion contamination maintenance. Calculation service The influences that must be taken into consideration in calculation are expressed as mathematical functions. As a result, the calculation principles can be programmed, eliminating the need for time-consuming manual calculation work. Calculation programs are available which may be used on request. The theoretical life calculations are valid for the products described in this catalogue. Under no circumstances can they be transferred to other products.

Friction
Friction is principally dependent on: the sliding contact surface the load the sliding speed the bearing temperature the lubrication condition the quality of the sliding surfaces. Friction behaviour of spherical plain bearings requiring maintenance, maintenance-free spherical plain bearings and maintenance-free cylindrical plain bushes The friction behaviour changes during the operating life. The lowest friction values are found with bearings that are well run in. The values are significantly higher during the running-in and failure phases. For safety reasons, the maximum values should always be used for calculating the drive power (Table 1). If the friction value exceeds the maximum value, this may have the following consequences: wear may increase the bearing temperature may rise the function of the bearing may be impaired. Bearing frictional torque The bearing frictional torque M (from the formula) is valid for (Figure 1): radial and angular contact spherical plain bearings under radial load axial spherical plain bearings under axial load. If the bearing is subjected to combined load (radial and axial), the bearing frictional torque is calculated by integration of the standard loads.

Friction behaviour of maintenance-free plain bearing materials based on PTFE Figure 2 shows the friction factor as a function of: the sliding speed the load the temperature. With new spherical plain bearings, the bearing frictional torque may be significantly higher during the early running-in phase due to: plastic transfer of the PTFE material to the surface structure of the opposing running surface the incomplete internal bearing tribology and the deposit of PTFE particles on the opposing running surface/ functional surface (PTFE/PTFE friction). The wear behaviour of maintenance-free spherical plain bearings and plain bushes is shown in Figure 3.

Lubrication
Spherical plain bearings and rod ends with a steel/steel sliding contact surface requiring maintenance are given a special surface treatment and are provided with MoS2. However, the function and wear of spherical plain bearings and rod ends is heavily influenced by the quality of maintenance. Functions of the lubricant The lubricant should (Figure 1): reduce friction prevent corrosion form a lubricant film which is capable of supporting loads between the contact points if grease lubrication is used, protect the bearing against contamination and moisture. Criteria for lubricant selection The following must be taken into consideration: the load the load direction the swivel angle the sliding speed the ambient temperature the environmental conditions. It is more important to use a suitable lubricant than to provide generously defined, short lubrication intervals. The lubricant must always be chosen in consultation with the lubricant manufacturer. Grease lubrication Steel/steel sliding contact surface The following are suitable for standard applications: conventional, corrosion-inhibiting, high-pressure greases with a lithium soap base, EP additives and solid lubricant additives. Suitable lubricants contain: approx. 3% MoS2 or solid additives based on calcium and zinc phosphate compounds. Even under high contact pressure, these additives separate the sliding surfaces from each other. Steel/bronze sliding contact surface The following are suitable: conventional, corrosion-inhibiting, water-repellent lithium soap greases of normal consistency. Lubricating greases with MoS2 additives or other solid lubricants must not be used.

Running-in phase The running-in phase has a significant influence on the later wear behaviour of the bearing. Correct lubrication is of particular importance at this point. During running-in the surfaces of the contact zones are smoothed the contact zones are elastically bedded in. This increases the contact area and reduces the load on the material. Greasing During the running-in phase, the pressure in the bearing is particularly high. Spherical plain bearings are therefore manganese phosphated and treated with MoS2. The wear occurring during the running-in phase proceeds all the more favourably the more MoS2 is embedded in the porous-crystalline manganese phosphate. This process is at its most effective if the bearing: is subjected to about ten swivel motions under load without additional greasing is then provided with an initial greasing. If this is not possible, the initial greasing must be metered carefully in order to avoid flushing an excessive quantity of MoS2 out of the bearing. Relubrication During relubrication, old grease is replaced by fresh grease. At the same time, the grease flushes wear debris and contaminants out of the bearing. Bearings with steel/steel sliding contact surfaces must be periodically relubricated. The relubrication intervals should not be established arbitrarily but determined by calculation or in consultation with the lubricant manufacturer. If relubrication is carried out too frequently, the operating life of the bearing may be reduced, since the friction of spherical plain bearings always increases for a short time after relubrication. Preconditions the grease should be the same as that used for initial greasing if different greases are used, their miscibility and compatibility should be checked relubrication should be carried out with the bearing still warm from operation before the bearing comes to rest if safe to do so before extended breaks in operation.
Maintenance-free spherical plain bearings, plain bushes and rod ends During the running-in phase, PTFE particles are transferred from the outer ring sliding layer to the opposing running surface of the inner ring. This fills in the areas of slight roughness in the inner ring surface. A long operating life is only achieved with this tribologically smooth surface. Maintenance-free spherical plain bearings, plain bushes and rod ends must not be relubricated. The PTFE particles to be transferred do not adhere to oily surfaces. Lubricant therefore prevents the necessary smoothing of the surface. If spherical plain bearings, plain bushes and rod ends that have been subjected to dry running-in are subsequently lubricated, this damages the smoothing effect previously achieved. Maintenance-free spherical plain bearings, plain bushes and rods ends do not have any facilities for relubrication.

Internal clearance and operating clearance

Internal clearance
Radial internal clearance Radial internal clearance of radial spherical plain bearings requiring maintenance with steel/steel sliding contact surface The radial internal clearance is defined as the distance by which the inner ring can be moved in a radial direction relative to the outer ring from one extreme position to the other (Figure 1). The radial internal clearance is divided into three groups (Table 1 and Table 2) and is given in the dimension tables. This assumes that the bearing is mounted in a housing bore that, apart from the correction of geometrical inaccuracies, causes no dimensional changes in the bearing. Normal internal clearance The normal internal clearance gives an optimum operating clearance under normal operating conditions if the recommended fits (see Design of bearing arrangements, Seite 37) are used. Radial internal clearance larger or smaller than normal In order to meet the requirements arising from different operating or installation conditions, the bearings are also available with (Table 1 and Table 2): internal clearance larger than normal where tight fits are used or there are large temperature differences between the inner and outer ring internal clearance smaller than normal for bearing arrangements with very small clearance. Suffixes Spherical plain bearings with normal internal clearance do not have a suffix. Bearings with a radial internal clearance C2 and C3 differ from the standard design. They are ordered using a suffix. Example Spherical plain bearing GE 60 DO with reduced internal clearance: GE 60 DO-C2. Axial internal clearance The axial internal clearance is defined as the amount by which the inner ring can be moved in an axial direction relative to the outer ring from one extreme position to the other (Figure 2). It is dependent on the bearing geometry and is in a direct relationship to the radial internal clearance. Depending on the bearing type, it may be several times greater than the radial internal clearance.

Internal clearance and operating clearance Internal clearance
Internal clearance of cylindrical plain bushes Bearings requiring maintenance must have a minimum radial internal clearance for lubrication. Maintenance-free cylindrical plain bushes have an integral solid lubricant supply. They do not therefore require this minimum radial clearance for lubrication purposes. Fitting without clearance has particular advantages, especially with alternating load directions. Load distribution is also improved, especially during running-in, due to the larger load-bearing areas. In order to achieve the largest possible load-bearing angle, the operating clearance S must not exceed defined limits. The clearance can be expressed as a function of the relative internal clearance (Figure 3 and formula). For bore diameters d = 30 mm to 200 mm, guide values are given in Table 3. These ranges can be used: due to the standard tolerances of the plain bushes and if the housing bore and shaft are manufactured to the average tolerance. S = d

It is calculated from: the radial internal clearance (Table 2, page 31) the change in the radial internal clearance due to interference and temperature influences in a fitted bearing.

The internal clearance in the least favourable case is 0,015 mm in the fitted condition. If the remaining internal clearance of spherical plain bearings requiring maintenance is 0, a bearing of another internal clearance group (in this case C3) must be selected. Maintenance-free spherical plain bearings Maintenance-free spherical plain bearings have a very small internal clearance. This may lead to preloads in the bearing once it is fitted.

Design of bearing arrangements

Radial location of spherical plain bearings and maintenance-free cylindrical plain bushes
In spherical plain bearings, sliding motion should occur between the spherical sliding surfaces of the inner and outer rings the quality and treatment of the surfaces are matched to this purpose. The internal clearance and osculation of the sliding surfaces must therefore be in a balanced relationship. Spherical plain bearings requiring maintenance The operating life of spherical plain bearings requiring maintenance is reduced by: preload on the sliding surfaces excessively small load-bearing areas on the sliding surfaces due to unacceptably large internal clearance. The recommended fits are given in Table 1). If tighter fits are required, for example due to high impacttype loads, the operating clearance must be checked by calculation (see Influence of interference on the radial internal clearance, page 34). Maintenance-free spherical plain bearings Looser fits may be used with maintenance-free bearings: due to the hard chromium/PTFE sliding contact surface, friction is lower than with steel/steel sliding contact surfaces. The recommended fits are given in Table 2. Application as locating bearings The shaft and bore fits must be selected such that no sliding motion occurs on the shaft or in the bore. Tight fits prevent damage to the adjacent construction. When using tight fits, however, it must be noted that: interference between the housing and outer ring causes contraction of the outer ring interference between the shaft and bearing bore causes expansion of the inner ring. These elastic deformations of the bearing rings reduce the internal clearance of the bearing (see Influence of interference on the radial internal clearance, page 34). If a tight fit is not possible, the bearing rings must be secured against axial sliding motion on the shaft or in the housing (Axial location, page 38). Application as non-locating bearings (between shaft and bearing bore) The surface of the shaft must be wear-resistant as follows: surface hardness 56 HRC maximum surface roughness Rz10. Spherical plain bearings requiring maintenance should then only be lubricated via the shaft. Maintenance-free spherical plain bearings can have a lining of sliding material ELGOGLIDE in the inner ring bore, suffix W7, W8 (page 13).

Design of bearing arrangements Axial location of spherical plain bearings
Spherical plain bearings under high load undergo elastic deformation. This leads to relative micromovements on the seating surfaces. As a result, the bearing rings can creep in an axial direction despite a tight fit. In order to prevent axial displacement, the bearing ring must always be located axially. Non-locating bearing side The axial displacement should occur between the shaft and bearing bore because: the length/diameter ratio of the guidance is more favourable at this point than on the outer ring of the bearing the axially split outer ring expands under axial load and can therefore jam in the bearing location no wear should in general occur in the housing bore. Location of bearing rings The following are suitable for location (Figure 1, 2 and 3): retaining rings the bearings can thus be easily fitted and dismantled spacers between the bearing ring and adjacent construction if: the shaft must not be weakened by the use of annular grooves the bearings are to be axially preloaded this prevents rotary motion between the bearing ring and adjacent construction even with a loose fit.

Design of bearing arrangements Design of adjacent components
Chamfer dimensions Spherical plain bearings have a convex transition between the outside surface and bore to the end faces. This makes fitting of the bearing easier. The bearing rings must be in contact with the shaft and housing shoulders. The largest radius of the shaft/housing locating face must therefore not be larger than the smallest chamfer dimension r1s /r2s of the spherical plain bearing (Figure 4 and dimension table). Quality of shaft and housing bore The seating surfaces of the bearing should be such that the loads transmitted through the bearing: do not cause unacceptable geometrical deviations of the shaft and housing do not cause permanent deformation of the spherical plain bearing. In the case of highly loaded spherical plain bearings with p 80 N/mm2, the shaft and housing must be checked. The geometrical accuracy of the seating surfaces should be within the tolerance ranges of the recommended fit. The recommended surface quality values are given in Table 3 and 4. If larger roughness values are present, please consult INA.

Fitting and dismantling

Fitting
Spherical plain bearings, rod ends and cylindrical plain bushes are high precision machine elements. They must be handled very carefully both before and during fitting. Problem-free functioning is substantially dependent on the care taken in fitting. Bearing failures will lead to: machine downtime expensive repairs. If bearings are fitted incorrectly, no liability can be accepted. Spherical plain bearings, rod ends and cylindrical plain bushes should only be fitted by personnel with sufficient and appropriate training. In case of doubt, please consult INA.
Delivered condition Spherical plain bearings and cylindrical plain bushes are supplied with the surfaces (except the bore) protected by a preservative. Depending on their design, rod ends are supplied protected by a preservative or with a zinc plating. Any change, irrespective of the bearing type, will reduce the operating life of the bearing. Bearings must not be treated or cleaned using trichloroethylene, perchloroethylene, petroleum spirit or other solvents. Substances containing oil will change the characteristics of the bearing. Storage Bearings should only be stored: in the original packaging in dry, clean rooms with the temperature as constant as possible at a relative humidity of max. 65%. Removal from packaging Perspiration from handling leads to corrosion. Hands should be kept clean and dry and gloves worn if necessary. Spherical plain bearings, rod ends and cylindrical plain bushes should only be removed from their original packaging immediately before fitting. If the original packaging is damaged, the products must be checked. If the products are contaminated, they must be wiped with a clean cloth only.
42
Tools for heat assisted fitting In order to reduce the forces required for fitting, the spherical plain bearings can be heated: avoid localised overheating. The bearing temperature must be monitored using a thermometer information in the INA catalogue and manufacturers data on grease and seals must be observed. Suitable devices for heating include: heating cabinets with a controllable thermostat the induction heater INAtherm (Figure 1). These have the following advantages: uniform heating no contamination of the components long preheating periods are not required. Checking the adjacent construction (Figure 2) Quality of bearing seating surfaces shaft and housing bore Dimensional and geometrical accuracy of seating and locating faces Shaft and housing seating Lead chamfer on shaft/housing bore between 10 and 20 Any burrs must be removed If tight fits are used or the fitting conditions present difficulties the surfaces of the shaft and housing bore should be lightly oiled. Maintenance-free spherical plain bearings and maintenance-free cylindrical plain bushes should be fitted such that no lubricant or other substances used to aid fitting can reach the sliding surfaces.

Fitting and dismantling Fitting
Rules and guidelines The information given must be adhered to. If it is not, there is a direct or indirect hazard to personnel, the product and/or the adjacent construction. The assembly area must be kept clean and free from dust. The bearings must be protected against moisture and aggressive media. The bearings must always be located concentrically. Mechanical and thermal assistance Direct blows using a hammer and drift on the end faces of the bearing rings must be avoided incorrect handling can damage the bearing and lead to microcracks in the bearing. Fitting forces must always be applied to the inner ring (Figure 3) if these forces are directed through the sliding surfaces, the bearings may jam during fitting. If radial spherical plain bearings are fitted on the shaft and in a housing at the same time, fitting tools must be used which act simultaneously on the end faces of the inner and outer ring (Figure 4). Larger bearings must be fitted using special fitting equipment (Figure 5) the fitting forces required increase with the diameter. Simple impact type tools are no longer sufficient in these cases. Thermal assistance Spherical plain bearings must not be heated above +130 C higher temperatures damage the seals Spherical plain bearings must not be heated in an oil bath this impairs the tribological system of maintenance-free bearings it changes the molybdenum disulphide concentration on the sliding surfaces in bearings with a steel/steel sliding contact surface Bearings must not be heated using a naked flame the material undergoes excessive localised heating and its hardness is reduced. Furthermore, stresses are induced in the bearing the seals could melt maintenance-free sliding surfaces could be damaged.

Lubrication holes
Adhesive bonding of bearing rings If the recommended fits are adhered to, it is not necessary to use adhesive on the bearing rings. Adhesives may only be used on spherical plain bearings with steel/steel sliding contact surfaces under the following conditions: the surfaces to be bonded must be clean and free from grease the raceways must be cleaned using a cleaning agent and well lubricated using a paste with a high MoS2 content it must be checked that the lubricant ducts and lubricant holes are not blocked by adhesive. Main load direction In radial spherical plain bearings with split outer rings, the joints are offset at 90 from the main load direction (Figure 6) the lubrication holes of bearings requiring maintenance are thus positioned in the load zone. This allows good lubricant distribution in the load zone area. Transporting the bearings (Figure 7) Large spherical plain bearings must only be transported using the eye bolts supplied. Radial bearings have threaded holes on the end faces of the inner and outer rings, large axial spherical plain bearings have threaded holes on the end faces of the shaft and housing locating washers. Welding currents If welding work is carried out on the adjacent construction, welding currents must not be allowed to pass through the spherical plain bearing, since this will immediately damage the sliding surfaces.
Figure 6 Joint, main load direction, lubrication holes
Figure 7 Transporting large radial spherical plain bearings Fitting orientation for GE..DW, GE..DW-2RS2 During fitting, it must be ensured that the screw connection on one side of the outer ring halves is facing towards the open side of the bearing. This makes subsequent dismantling easier.

Fitting by refrigeration The inner rings of radial spherical plain bearings with a steel/steel sliding contact surface undergo structural change at temperatures below 61 C. This may cause a volume increase. Due to the change in the tolerances, the bearing may then jam if this fitting method is to be used, the bearing rings can be supplied with appropriate heat treatment. Please consult INA in this case. For easier fitting, maintenance-free cylindrical plain bushes can be cooled in liquid nitrogen (196 C) for short periods. In the case of plain bushes with integral seals (2RS versions), the correct seating of the seals in the undercut must be checked after refrigeration.

Fitting and dismantling Dismantling
Even if the load is applied to the ring to be dismantled in accordance with the specification, the frictional contact of the other ring due to the fit presents difficulties in dismantling (Figure 8). Depending on the level of interference, the inner ring will contract and the outer ring will expand. The extraction forces also increase with increasing interference. If the following precautions are taken during design, this will make dismantling of the bearings easier: a threaded hole for an extraction screw in the shaft (Figure 9) threaded holes for extraction screws in the housing (Figure 10) milled areas on the stud for the jaws of the extraction device (Figure 10).

Operating temperatures
The permissible operating temperature is dependent on: the sliding contact surface the sealing arrangement. If the operating temperature exceeds the values in Table 1, this will reduce: the life of the bearing the efficacy of the sealing arrangement. If sealed bearings must be used at high temperatures, an unsealed bearing with external heat-resistant seals can be used (Figure 1). The influence of temperature on life is taken into consideration by means of temperature factors.

Materials
Maintenance-free spherical plain bearings Maintenance-free spherical plain bearings have special sliding layers based on PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene). In descending order of performance, these are: ELGOGLIDE the highest performance sliding layer (Figure 1) PTFE-bronze film (Figure 2) PTFE composite (Figure 3) These materials form the slideway of the outer ring. They transmit loads and provide lubrication the bearings must not be lubricated by any other means. Features of ELGOGLIDE The sliding layer comprises a 0,5 mm thick layer of ELGOGLIDE, is embedded in resin and fixed to the bush by a high strength bond. The flow behaviour of the sliding layer is, in combination with the bush, almost negligible even under very high load. The bond is resistant to moisture and swelling.

Materials
Spherical plain bearings requiring maintenance These spherical plain bearings are made from high quality rolling bearing steel. Depending on the bearing size, the raw materials are in the form of tubes, forgings or rolled parts. The sliding contact surface is: steel/steel or steel/bronze. The steel bearing rings are turned, hardened, ground on all sides and surface treated. The surface treatment manganese phosphating with subsequent molybdenum disulphide coating of the sliding surfaces gives excellent wear resistance. The effective separation of the metallic surfaces gives optimum running-in characteristics.

Design and safety guidelines Note the ratio Cr (Ca)/P (Predimensioning, page 22 and Table 1). The permissible ratio is decisively dependent on the operating conditions, lubricant and the required operating life. Maintenance-free spherical plain bearings are, depending on type, only suitable for alternating dynamic loads in certain cases (Table 1). The parts of different bearings are not interchangeable with each other. Table 1 Ratio Cr (Ca)/P for maintenance-free spherical plain bearings under dynamic load guide values

Angular contact spherical plain bearings If angular contact spherical plain bearings are to transmit axial and radial loads, the bearings can be installed in pairs in an O or X arrangement (Figure 1).
60
Axial spherical plain bearings If axial spherical plain bearings are to be combined with radial spherical plain bearings of dimension series E to ISO 12 240-1 in order to support radial loads, the axial and radial load must be distributed over both bearings. In order to achieve this: the pin must have a radial release of approx. 1 mm in the shaft locating washer (Figure 2) or the pin must only be in contact with the large end surface of the shaft locating washer (Figure 2). From a bore diameter of 160 mm, the bearing must be fitted in a closed housing. The diameter D of the axial bearing corresponds to the inside diameter of the housing.

Maintenance-free cylindrical plain bushes Do not lubricate the sliding layer. Lubricant increases wear and considerably reduces the operating life of the bearing. Plain bushes should not be used for movement involving spatial alignment. Any skewing of the shaft reduces the bearing life. For applications involving contact with water, plain bushes with a corrosion-resistant steel bush must be used. The flushing effect will considerably increase wear of the sliding layer. If movement is infrequent, however, the operating life may nevertheless be sufficient. The design of the plain bush and its suitability should be agreed with INA first. If plain bushes come into contact with chemical media, special measures will often be required for the bush material or the surface treatment. The design of the plain bush and its suitability should be agreed with INA first. Design of bearing arrangements The shaft and housing bore should conform to Figure 3. For optimum conditions, the shaft should be hardened and hard chromium plated or corrosion-resistant steel should be used. The shaft roughness should not exceed Rz1 if possible. Higher roughness values will reduce the operating life of plain bushes. Roughness values Rz4 should be avoided. If plain bushes are combined with outer seals, it must be taken into consideration when designing the sealing arrangement that: the internal clearance will increase due to wear of the sliding layer the plain bush cannot be relubricated. Fitting Plain bushes should be pressed in using a fitting arbor (Figure 5). The chamfer of the fitting arbor must have rounded corners or ends: dD = d (0,3 mm to 0,5 mm). Sharp corners on the entry side of the shaft and arbor will damage the sliding layer and reduce the operating life of the plain bush.

Calculation of rating life In maintenance-free spherical plain bearings, the sliding surfaces are in direct contact due to the lack of lubricant. This leads to wear. Wear of the sliding surface is therefore the principal failure criterion in life calculation. Due to wear, the friction increases towards the end of the operating life. In some cases, low sliding speeds and low bearing loads can result in very high calculated life values. With very long running times, however, parameters that are not taken into consideration in calculation can have a considerable influence on the life; these include: vibration contamination moisture corrosion ageing. The actual life may therefore differ considerably from these values. The operating life of large spherical plain bearings of series GE..DW and GE..DW-2RS2 cannot be determined using the calculation method presented here particular attention must be paid to the specific environmental conditions in each application. Please consult INA in this case. In the case of axial bearings with d 220 mm, particular attention must be paid to the surrounding constructions and operating conditions. Please consult INA in this case.

Accuracy The main dimensions conform to ISO 12 240-1 to -3. The dimensional and geometrical accuracy of the inside and outside diameters corresponds to ISO 12 240-1 to -3 Dimensional and tolerance values are arithmetic means. Dimensional inspection is carried out in accordance with ISO 8 015. Spherical plain bearings with split outer ring The outside diameter is within the deviations given in the tables before surface treatment and splitting. The outer rings become slightly out of round due to splitting. The roundness of the outer ring is restored once it is fitted in a housing bore produced in accordance with the specifications (Figure 14). Measurements taken of the outside diameter of the unfitted bearing cannot be used as the original actual values for the outside diameter. Maintenance-free cylindrical plain bushes The main dimensions conform to ISO 4 379. The dimensional and geometrical accuracies conform to ISO 4379 Dimensional and tolerance values are arithmetic means. Dimensional inspection is carried out in accordance with ISO 8 015.

Features Radial spherical plain bearings are complete units comprising inner rings and outer rings with a steel/steel or steel/bronze sliding contact surface the inner ring has a cylindrical bore and a convex outer slideway the outer ring has a cylindrical outside surface and concave inner slideway. From d = 320 mm, the outer ring is split at two points and held together by retaining rings in series GE..PB, the outer ring is made from bronze can support radial loads can transmit motion and loads with low moment levels they can thus keep bending stresses away from the adjacent structure are particularly suitable for alternating loads with impact type and shock type stresses can support axial loads in both directions are lubricated via the outer and inner ring with exceptions (dimensions) under alternating load, one side is relieved. This zone is lubricated as a result of the swivel motion. Sealed radial spherical plain bearings requiring maintenance are protected against contaminants and water spray by lip seals.

Features Angular contact spherical plain bearings are complete units comprising an inner ring and an outer ring with a steel/steel sliding contact surface the inner ring has a convex outer slideway the outer ring has a concave inner slideway can support axial loads as well as radial loads they are thus suitable for alternating dynamic loads are used, for example, where loads acting in conjunction with small swivel angles would damage rolling element bearings they are a plain bearing alternative to tapered roller bearings of series 320 X to DIN 720 can transmit motion and loads with low moment levels they can thus keep bending stresses away from the adjacent structure are designed as standard for grease lubrication are lubricated via the outer ring. Axial spherical plain bearings are complete units comprising shaft locating and housing locating washers with a steel/steel sliding contact surface the shaft locating washer is supported in the ball socket-shaped sliding zone of the housing locating washer can support axial loads can transmit support loads into the adjacent construction with low moment levels can be combined with radial spherical plain bearings of dimension series E to ISO 12 240-1 in order to support radial loads are lubricated via the housing locating washer.

Design and safety guidelines Note the ratio Cr (Ca)/P (Predimensioning, page 22 and Table 1). The permissible ratio is decisively dependent on the operating conditions, lubricant and the required operating life. The parts of different bearings are not interchangeable with each other. The relubrication intervals must be observed. If oil lubrication is to be used, the bearings must be provided with different lubrication groove systems (suffix F10, page 13). If fitting is carried out with the aid of refrigeration by means of dry ice or liquid nitrogen, the material may undergo a volume increase that may eliminate the bearing clearance in certain circumstances.

Spherical plain bearings requiring maintenance Radial spherical plain bearings Angular contact spherical plain bearings Axial spherical plain bearings
Axial spherical plain bearings If axial spherical plain bearings are to be combined with radial spherical plain bearings of dimension series E to ISO 12 240-1 in order to support radial loads, the axial and radial load must be distributed over both bearings. In order to achieve this: the pin must have a radial release of approx. 1 mm in the shaft locating washer (Figure 3) or the pin must only be in contact with the large end surface of the shaft locating washer (Figure 3).

Accuracy The main dimensions conform to ISO 12 240-1 to -3. The exceptions are: radial spherical plain bearings GE..HO-2RS spherical plain bearings in inch sizes. The dimensional and geometrical accuracy of the inside and outside diameters corresponds to ISO 12 240-1 to -3. Dimensional and tolerance values are arithmetic means. Dimensional inspection is carried out in accordance with ISO 8 015. The tolerances of spherical plain bearings with a steel/steel sliding contact surface may differ slightly from the stated values due to the surface treatment applied. However, this does not affect the fitting and operating characteristics of the bearings. Spherical plain bearings with split outer ring The outside diameter is within the deviations given in the tables before surface treatment and splitting. The outer rings become slightly out of round due to splitting. The roundness of the outer ring is restored once it is fitted in a housing bore produced in accordance with the specifications (Figure 6). Measurements taken of the outside diameter of the unfitted bearing cannot be used as the original actual values for the outside diameter.

Table 1 Load factors fb Design and safety guidelines Basic dynamic load rating The basic dynamic load rating Cr (dimension table) refers to the spherical plain bearing when fitted. It represents a factor used for calculating the bearing life. The equivalent bearing load and additional bending stresses in the shank area are taken into consideration if: in addition to radial load in a tensile or compressive direction, other transverse forces act in an axial direction to the shank. Basic static load rating The basic static load rating C0r (dimension table) of the rod end refers only to the load carrying capacity of the rod end housing. It indicates: the maximum constant tensile load when utilising 83% of the material yield strength in the most highly stressed cross-section. Permissible loading of rod ends The permissible loading of rod ends depends on the type of load. Pulsating or alternating loads subject the material to greater stress than constant loads. The reduction factors fb must therefore be used for these operating conditions in calculation (Table 1). In rod ends with the sliding material ELGOGLIDE, the basic static load rating C0r of the housing is less than the basic dynamic load rating Cr of the bearing.

Table 1 Load factors fb Design and safety guidelines Basic dynamic load rating The basic dynamic load ratings Cr (dimension table) refer to the spherical plain bearing when fitted. They represent a factor used for calculating the bearing life. The equivalent bearing load and additional bending stresses in the shank area are taken into consideration if: in addition to radial load in a tensile or compressive direction, other transverse forces act in an axial direction to the shank. Basic static load rating The basic static load ratings C0r (dimension table) of rod ends refer only to the load carrying capacity of the rod end housing. They are based on tensile/compressive loads acting across or in the direction of the rod end shank. Permissible loading of rod ends The permissible loading of rod ends depends on the type of load. Pulsating or alternating loads subject the material to greater stress than constant loads. The reduction factors fb must therefore be used for these operating conditions in calculation (Table 1). Maintenance Rod ends requiring maintenance must be lubricated. They have relubrication facilities, except for smaller rod ends of some series that do not have lubrication grooves and lubrication holes. These rod ends are indicated in the dimension tables. Rod ends to ISO 12 240-4, dimension series E bore diameter d = 15 mm to 20 mm are relubricated via a hole in the rod end eye housing (Figure 1). For reasons of housing strength, these rod ends do not have lubrication nipples. Tightening torques for fixing screws in hydraulic rod ends The fixing screws must be tightened according to the scheme (Table 2, Figures 2 and 3, page 147). The tightening torques must be adhered to.

Other products
Other products in the range: are special products which differ from the catalogue range in type and design are products for special bearing arrangement problems are produced exclusively for specific customers or orders. In order to achieve the most favourable solution in technical and economic terms using products from this range, the development should be discussed and agreed as early as possible in the project with the manufacturer's engineering service.
Figure 1 Special rod end Locating bearings for articulated frame steering are used as locating bearings in frame steering systems for construction machinery can support high radial and axial loads have sliding zones of a special geometrical design. This prevents edge stresses in the part of the bearing under axial load are supplied preadjusted. There is therefore no need for clearance adjustment by the customer.

Special rod ends comprise a rod end and spherical plain bearing whose inner ring is in the form of a mounting lug can be combined with a hydraulic rod end, for example for fitting on the piston side to a hydraulic cylinder are made from high strength forged materials are easy to fit and service the lug is fixed to the moving part by cap head screws can be quickly and easily fitted and are more easily dismantled than conventional pin arrangements due to the screw connection require no precision fixtures, shafts or anti-rotation devices on the customer's part (leading to cost savings).
Prop shaft centring bearings are movable cardanic centring elements are used to damp vibrations in rear and four wheel drive vehicles in the centre of the coupling between the gearbox and prop shaft support the prop shaft mass on the coupling, preventing eccentricity of the elastically coupled shafts.
Figure 3 Prop shaft centring bearings Flanged spherical plain bearings are used in clutch actuation systems are maintenance-free.
Figure 4 Flanged spherical plain bearings Joint connecting rods are used in brake actuation systems contain maintenance-free spherical plain bearings.
