MSM® spherical segment bearings

MAURER MSM® spherical segment bearings according to the General Technical Approval of DIBt (Deutsches Institut für Bautechnik) are mainly used most effectively in the refurbishment of roller bearings. These bearings, with their rectangular sliding surface above and below, have similar pressure surfaces to the rollers which must be replaced in the roller bearings. Therefore these bearings are very easy to install as a replacement for the old steel roller. The use of our sliding material MSM® in these bearings then provides all the advantages of a modern MSM® sliding bearing.

  • Resistance to wear and free rotation capacity of spherical bearings
  • Replacement of roller bearings without complicated recalculation of the structure itself, and without any need to change the existing structure of the building structure.
