IKO SB150220120 Steel on Steel Spherical Plain Bushing 150x220x120mm

SB Type Steel on Steel Spherical Plain Bushings: Steel-on-steel Spherical Bushings have inner and outer rings of high carbon chromium bearing steel, of which sliding surfaces are phosphate-treated and then dry-coated with molybdenum disulfide (MoS2). They can, therefore, operate with low torque, and have excellent wear resistance and large load capacity. They are especially suitable for applications where there are alternate loads and shock loads. They have wide applications mainly in industrial and construction machinery.
Note: These bushings have an outer ring split into halves. The split outer ring and the inner ring are held together by a snap ring placed in the groove around the outer periphery of the outer ring and as such are separable if required
Steel-on-steel Spherical Bushings can be operated without lubrication when the magnitude of applied load is small and the sliding velocity of oscillation is small. However, in general, it is necessary to grease periodically. During initial operation, it is recommended to shorten the lubrication interval. Lithium soap base grease (NLGI consistency No.2) containing molybdenum disulfide (M0S2) is widely used as the lubricating grease.
The maximum recommended temperature for Spherical Bushings without seals is +180 deg C for the steel on steel type.
Installation Notes: When mounting Spherical Bushings, pay attention to the location of the split plane of the outer ring. Set the split plane at right angles to the direction of load to avoid the application of load to the split plane
Benefits: Provides high mechanical protection, low torque, wear resistant
