RBC Bearings LHSS16 Spherical Bearing

RBC LHSS16 is a two-piece, metal-to-metal spherical plain bearing from the RBC Heim family, designed for a spherical joint that accommodates angular misalignment in rotating assemblies. It belongs to RBC's Heim spherical-bearing lineup as the LHSS series, a two-piece variant of the LSS family; a closely related LSS16 is the four-piece metal-to-metal counterpart. In machinery where an articulating joint is required, LHSS16 provides a spherical bearing surface for rotating shafts within misaligned housings, employing metal-to-metal contact typical of RBC Heim designs. The LHSS16 designation places this bearing in RBC's standard LHSS/LHA/LHB catalog, enabling interchangeability with other RBC Heim components in compatible assemblies and making it a common choice for linkages, pivots, and other rotating joints in industrial equipment. Spherical plain bearings, such as LHSS16, are used across many sectors to accommodate misalignment and variable loading in rotating joints.
