Description
HERCULES Spherical Bearings typically consist of concave & convex interfaces which accommodate large rotation with very little resistance to the application of moment. The spherical interface shall consist of stainless steel & high compressive & low friction PTFE or special modified polymers. Spherical bearings can be incorporated with top sliding plates & guides to accommodate horizontal movement in one or all directions. Therefore, the spherical bearings can further be categorized as Fixed, Guided & Free Sliding. For special application in the event of unavoidable uplift force, Hercules Spherical Bearings can be designed to resist the uplift force with permanent uplift restraints as redundancy design.
