Tritan Com 6 Ball-joint Spherical Plain Bearing

Product Description

The TRITAN COM 6 is a ball-joint spherical plain bearing engineered for applications that require angular misalignment compensation under significant radial loads. With a 0.375 inch bore diameter and a dynamic load capacity of 8,400 pounds, this bearing is built for demanding mechanical assemblies where precise motion and load transfer are critical. The 0.656 inch ball diameter and 13/32 inch width keep the envelope compact while maintaining structural integrity. Both the ball and raceway are manufactured from steel, and the bearing uses oil lubrication for smooth operation. Installation and replacement are handled by maintenance technicians and mechanical tradespeople working on linkage systems, control rods, and articulating joints.

This bearing is suited for use in industrial, commercial, and trade-mechanical environments where pivot points, linkage arms, or rod-end assemblies experience moderate angular displacement. The COM series designation identifies a standardized bore-to-OD ratio common across many linkage and clevis applications. The 0.375 inch inside diameter accepts standard fastener and shaft sizes typical of light-to-medium duty articulating assemblies. Maximum ball swivel is rated at 10 degrees, making it appropriate for applications with limited but consistent angular movement.

Key Features

• 0.375 inch bore diameter for compatibility with standard shaft and fastener sizes
• 8,400 pound dynamic load capacity for demanding radial load applications
• Steel ball and steel raceway construction for durability under mechanical stress
• 0.656 inch ball diameter with 10-degree maximum swivel for controlled angular misalignment
• Oil-lubricated design for smooth pivot and rotation under load
• 13/16 inch OD and 13/32 inch width for a compact, space-efficient footprint

Compatibility

Designed as a standard COM series spherical plain bearing for use in linkage assemblies, control mechanisms, and articulating joint applications requiring a 0.375 inch bore and steel construction.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by qualified mechanical technicians familiar with bearing press-fit and slip-fit tolerances. Ensure the mating shaft and housing are free of burrs and within specified dimensional tolerances before installation. De-energize and lock out all associated equipment before removing or installing the bearing. Do not exceed the rated swivel angle during assembly, as overextension can damage the raceway or reduce service life.
