Global Maintenance-Free Radial Spherical Plain Bearings Market Growth 2026-2032

The global Maintenance-Free Radial Spherical Plain Bearings market size is predicted to grow from US$ 1939 million in 2025 to US$ 2860 million in 2032; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.8% from 2026 to 2032.

The characteristic of maintenance-free radial spherical plain bearings is that they can withstand large loads. According to their different types and structures, they can withstand radial loads, axial loads, or combined loads of both radial and axial loads. Due to the composite material embedded on the outer spherical surface of the inner ring, the bearing can generate self lubrication during operation. It is generally used for low-speed swinging motion and low-speed rotation, and can also perform tilting motion within a certain angle range. When the support shaft is not concentric with the shaft housing hole, it can still work normally. The characteristics of maintenance-free radial spherical plain bearings are widely used in industries such as engineering hydraulic cylinders, forging machines, construction machinery, automation equipment, automotive shock absorbers, and water conservancy machinery. The characteristic of a self-lubricating ball joint bearing is a spherical sliding bearing, which is composed of an inner and outer ring with a spherical sliding spherical contact surface. Depending on its structure and type, it can withstand radial loads, axial loads, or combined loads of both radial and axial forces.
