MAXAM SR Series Spherical
Replacement Bearings support
heavy, misaligned loads in
hostile operating environments.
If you’re looking for the very best MAXAM® SR spherical bearing products on the market, you’ve come to the right place. At McNeil Industries, we’re proud to offer both MAXAM® SR series two-piece spherical plain bearings and MAXAM® SR series three-piece spherical plain bearing products for a variety of needs across industries.
These SR spherical bearings, which both support misaligned loads and tolerate a greater level of misalignment than ordinary roller bearings, are made from the highest-quality materials to ensure optimal performance and longevity. MAXAM® SR spherical bearings are direct retrofits for standard double and single-row spherical roller bearings. Our team is here to help you find the best bearings for your worst applications.

Why MAXAM® Brand?
There are several reasons to go with MAXAM® for your SR spherical bearing needs over traditional bearings:
Hard Outer Shell
MAXAM® spherical bearings utilize a specialized process to create an extremely hard outer shell surface, without impacting the base metal of the bearing. This provides superior wear resistance and extends the life of the bearing, even in harsh environments.
Self-Lubricating
One of the biggest advantages of MAXAM® spherical bearings is their self-lubricating feature. They pulverize application debris during operation, creating a solution that can be combined with water, oil or grease to create a lubricating slurry. And in other settings, they are able to operate with little to no lubrication at all.
Spalling and Fracture Resistance
Due to their hard outer shell and strong base metal materials, MAXAM® spherical bearings are highly resistant to spalling and fractures. This means they can withstand heavy loads and high impact forces without breaking or chipping, making them ideal for use in applications with intense shock and vibration.
No Rust or Corrosion
MAXAM® spherical bearings are also extremely resistant to rust and corrosion, thanks to their use of high-quality materials and advanced surface treatments. This makes them well-suited for use in harsh environments with exposure to moisture, chemicals, and other corrosive elements.
High Temperature Applications
MAXAM® SR spherical bearings can operate at up to 1000F continuous and 12000F intermittent, making them ideal for use in high temperature applications such as engines, turbines, and exhaust systems. They are able to withstand extreme heat without losing their structural integrity or performance.
Choosing Between Two-Piece and Three-Piece Options
How do you choose between MAXAM® SR series two-piece spherical plain bearings and MAXAM® SR series three-piece spherical bearings for your needs?
The standard SR series spherical bearing is a two-piece design, which is ideal for heavy, lower-speed, “fixed” loads. This type of bearing is typically used in applications where there is a need for axial or radial movement, such as in suspension systems, construction equipment, and agricultural machinery. The two-piece design allows for easier installation and maintenance compared to the three-piece option.
A three-piece engineered solution is also available for use when a “float” bearing is required. This type of bearing allows for misalignment and rotation, making it suitable for applications with constantly changing loads. It is commonly used in automotive and aerospace industries.
Our team will be happy to assist you in sourcing the ideal bearing solution for your specific needs. We work closely with top manufacturers to provide high-quality products that meet industry standards and customer requirements.
