The bearing is designed to take radial loads, and heavy axial loads in one direction.

A spherical plain bearing is a bearing that permits angular Spherical Roller Bearings rotation about a central point in two orthogonal directions (usually within a specified angular limit based on the bearing geometry). Typically these bearings support a rotating shaft in the bore of SKF vkn 600 Bearing the inner ring that must move not only rotationally, but also at an angle.
