Talk:Spherical bearing

This is not a spherical bearing (Spherical= Sphere ) This is a circular bearing 125.168.14.66 (talk) 15:23, 13 April 2009 (UTC)

• These bearings are called spherical plain bearings. Hugonet (talk) 18:29, 5 December 2013 (UTC)

diagrams would help

Could we have some diagrams to show what was originally developed, and what types are now available, and to show if spherical bearings are the same as ball and cup bearings as distinct from ball and socket joints. - Rod57 (talk) 01:42, 20 February 2012 (UTC)

Separate spherical roller bearing from spherical plain bearing?

Wouldn't it make sense to separate spherical roller bearings from spherical plain bearings? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hugonet (talk • contribs) 18:50, 20 September 2012 (UTC)

• Yes. Spherical bearing should be a disambiguation between these roller bearings, self aligning plain bearings and rose joints or rod-end bearings. Andy Dingley (talk) 13:24, 19 December 2012 (UTC)
  • I have now separated spherical roller bearings from this page. Can anyone come up with a more suitable image? Hugonet (talk) 18:28, 5 December 2013 (UTC)

Examples of spherical applications.

I was just told by dji that the mini series of their drones use spherical bearings in the rotors. Most people know if dji drones, so I thought that might interest readers. Also, fun fact, the dji bearing build friction when being transported and just needs to be hand rotated for a while for the bearing to free up. Davemody (talk) 18:17, 7 January 2023 (UTC)
