Abstract: A plain bearing unit includes a spherical bearing including an inner ring, the inner ring having a spherical outer surface, a bore and a groove formed in the bore, and an outer ring having a spherical inner surface mounted on the spherical outer surface of the inner ring. A sleeve is mounted in the bore of the inner ring of the spherical bearing and has an outer surface and a groove formed in the outer surface of the sleeve. A radially elastic retention ring extends inside the groove in the bore of the inner ring of the spherical bearing and extends inside the groove on the outer surface of the sleeve.

Abstract: A spherical ball joint having an inner ring and an outer ring that cooperate by way of respective truncated spherical contact surfaces, the inner ring having a central bore with a cylindrical bore portion. The spherical ball joint includes a cylindrical sleeve mounted securely in the cylindrical bore portion, the sleeve configured to be mounted around a shaft, the sleeve being made of a wear-resistant material different from that of the inner ring.

Abstract: A bearing assembly having cylindrical rolling elements, an inner ring, an outer ring, and a plurality of cylindrical rolling elements arranged radially between the internal raceway and external raceway. The inner ring includes an annular shoulder that protrudes with respect to the internal raceway, a fillet in the form of a circular arc being defined between the annular shoulder and internal raceway. The outer ring has an annular shoulder that protrudes with respect to the external raceway, the annular shoulder of the outer ring being housed axially between the annular shoulder of the inner ring and the cylindrical rolling elements. The annular shoulder of the outer ring is provided with an annular chamfer in the immediate vicinity of the fillet defined on the inner ring.
