IKO is a Japanese precision bearing manufacturer supplying cam followers, needle roller bearings, spherical plain bearings, rod end bearings, and thrust bearings for engineering, automation, material handling, and industrial machinery applications requiring precision motion and load support components manufactured to IKO's exacting standards across Australia. IKO spherical plain bearings and bushings provide angular misalignment accommodation under radial and axial loads in linkages, hydraulic cylinders, agricultural machinery, and industrial equipment where a self-aligning sliding contact bearing is required between two components subject to static or oscillating loads. Where this product is used IKO spherical plain bearing products are used in engineering workshops, industrial machinery, automation systems, material handling equipment, and automotive applications where precision motion and load support components manufactured to Japanese JIS and international standards are specified for reliable, long-service-life operation. Metric and imperial spherical plain bushings in open, sealed (2RS), and sealed variants for oscillating and static load bearing applications. GE-E, GE-G, GE-EC, and SBB series spherical plain bushings covering a range of bore and outer diameter specifications in metric and inch sizes. Sealed spherical plain bearings (GE-ES-2RS, GE-GS-2RS, GE-EC-2RS) providing a maintenance-reduced option for contaminated or high-use environments. Key specifications Specification Detail Standard Imperial (Inch) Selecting the right option Select spherical plain bearings by bore diameter and outer diameter to suit the pin and housing dimensions of the joint. Open variants suit low-contamination or regularly lubricated environments; sealed 2RS variants reduce maintenance requirements. Confirm metric or imperial bore dimensions match the pin and housing before ordering. Contact AIMS for IKO spherical plain bearings in specific bore sizes, series, or load ratings.
