What are the Advantages and Disadvantages of Pot Bearings?

Pot Bearing Advantages:

• Pot Bearings are multi-rotational
• Pot Bearings have negligible vertical deflection under load.
• Pot Bearings have uniform vertical deflection under load.
• Pot Bearings have high vertical and horizontal load capacity.
• Pot Bearings cause relatively low stress on the bearing seats.

 
Pot Bearing Disadvantages:

• Pot Bearings require periodic maintenance.
• While pot bearings are relatively low in height, other bearing types – such as Disc Bearings – are usually lower in overall height.
