This radial plain bearing accommodates angular misalignment between shaft and housing through its spherical sliding contact between inner and outer ring. The sliding layer is ELGOGLIDE, a maintenance-free material that removes the need for relubrication during operation. The bearing corresponds to dimension series E as defined in DIN ISO 12240-1, though the outside diameter and bore tolerances deviate from that standard. Net mass is 0.979 kg, and the design is sealed on both sides (2RS). The maintenance-free sliding layer makes this bearing suitable where relubrication access is limited or undesirable, since the ELGOGLIDE surface is designed to operate without added grease or oil over its service life. The 2RS sealing on both faces protects the sliding contact from dirt and moisture ingress, helping maintain smooth articulation at the spherical interface. Its self-aligning geometry allows it to compensate for shaft deflection or misalignment between mounting points without inducing edge loading on the sliding surfaces.
