Spherical plain bearing and a housing in combination with a spherical plain bearing

摘要

In a spherical plain bearing, an outer ring has a length and an outer periphery defining a first shoulder located at one end along the length and a second shoulder located at a second end along the length. The second end is generally opposite the first end with the first and second shoulders being sized to pressingly engage a housing wall. The housing wall defines a bore into which the spherical plain bearing is positioned. The outer periphery of the outer ring further defines a first staking lip extending radially outwardly from the outer periphery at a first distal end thereof and a second staking lip extending radially outwardly from the outer periphery at a second distal end thereof generally opposite the first distal end.
