To facilitate mounting, the ends of pins or shafts and the edges of housing bores should have a lead chamfer of 10° to 20°.The bearings can be more easily pushed into position and there is little risk of damage to the mating surfaces being caused by skewing of the bearing(Figure2).
In radial spherical plain bearings with split outer rings, the joints are offset at 90℃ from the main load direction. The lubrication holes of bearings requiring maintenance are thus positioned in the load zone. This allows good lubricant distribution in the load zone area(Figure3).
