Abstract: A spherical bearing assembly having an inner race member and an outer race member, the inner surface of the outer race member being a concave spherical surface, the outer surface of the inner member being a complementary convex spherical surface, the inner member including a spool member and at least three spherical segments interlocked, in an axial direction, on the spool member.

Abstract: A spherical bearing assembly having an inner race member and an outer race member, the inner surface of the outer race member being a concave spherical surface, the outer surface of the inner member being a complementary convex spherical surface, the inner member including a spool member having first and second threaded portions disposed on its outer surface at each end thereof and a smooth truncated conical section interposed therebetween, at least three spherical segments, each segment having a conical portion on its inner surface complementary to the truncated conical section on the outer surface of the spool member, first and second internally threaded annular rings adapted to be threaded on each end of the spool member in meshing relationship with the first and second threaded portions on each end of the spool member respectively, the segments disposed on and interlocked with the spool member by the annular rings.
