Angular contact spherical plain bearings GAC40F SKF
As their name implies, the sliding contact surfaces of angular contact spherical plain bearings are spherical in shape
and inclined at an angle to the bearing axis. Consequently, these bearings are well suited for accommodating combined (radial and axial) loads.
Single angular contact spherical plain bearings can only accommodate axial loads acting in one direction. These bearings can be separated,
enabling the rings to be mounted separately.
SKF manufactures steel/PTFE FRP (fibre reinforced polymer containing PTFE) maintenance-free angular contact spherical plain bearings as standard.
Principles for selection and application
This section, and its sub-sections, provide general technical information as well as design and application recommendations.
They also provide support for product selection and application including calculations.
Obviously, it is impossible to include all the information needed to cover every conceivable application.
For this reason, in many places, reference is made to the SKF application engineering service.
This technical service can perform complex calculations, diagnose and solve bearing performance issues, and help with the bearing selection process.
SKF also recommends this service to anyone working to improve the performance of their application.
