What Is The Position Of Spherical Sliding Bearings In Cars?

With the increasing demand for comfort and durability, especially in new energy and high-end vehicle models, the demand for spherical sliding bearings is becoming more and more common. 

Spherical sliding bearings consist of an inner ring with a spherical outer surface and an outer ring with a concave spherical surface, both of which can slide freely in multiple directions. Compared to rolling bearings, spherical sliding bearings do not have rolling elements, but transmit loads through sliding contact, thus better compensating for angular deviations and withstanding complex loads.

In order to compensate for the angle deviation between the steering and suspension systems, spherical sliding bearings are installed at the connection points of the car's control arm, ball joint, steering linkage, etc., to withstand radial and axial loads. At the same time, spherical sliding bearings can absorb impact loads and small vibrations, thereby improving driving comfort, reducing vibration and noise, and extending system life. In addition, spherical sliding bearings can improve the overall efficiency of automobiles by reducing friction losses. Therefore, it can be said that spherical sliding bearings are ubiquitous in vehicle suspension, steering systems, control arms, driveshafts, and stabilizer bars. Compared with ordinary ball bearings, it is more professional and "invisible", but it is widely used in critical connection parts.
