Product Line
Self-aligning plain bearings engineered to carry heavy loads and absorb angular misalignment in pivots, cylinders, and articulating joints.
IKO plain bearings combine spherical sliding surfaces with hardened or self-lubricating contact zones to handle large radial and bidirectional axial loads while absorbing angular misalignment. Whether the application calls for steel-on-steel toughness in construction equipment or maintenance-free PTFE liners in food processing, the design discipline is the same — handle shock and misalignment without sacrificing accuracy.
Spherical sliding surfaces let the joint swivel under load, absorbing angular misalignment without binding so the connected components see clean motion.
Steel-on-steel and hard-chromed contact zones carry large radial and bidirectional axial loads, handling alternating and shock conditions in construction, agriculture, and heavy machinery.
Spherical bushings, rod ends, and dust covers — across steel-on-steel, maintenance-free PTFE-lined, and lubricated or dry-running designs, selectable by load, swivel, and environment.
