Spherical bearings. We use them all the time. They're great. A couple years ago I installed one that was for a 400mm+ shaft. That's a serious bearing.
Too much mtce for my tractor links but beautiful all the same. the mind boggles about the usefullness.
I wonder if they could be used to make CVs last longer=forget that!
Another nice spherical roller bearing. FYI, you know what's a fascinating rabbit hole? Bearings. They're so critical to technological development that you can read history through a lens of "bearing".

I bet that’s all CNC. Every bit of it. If we ever lost computers we would not ever remember how to build anything.
A couple of bucks each? LOL. They are serious bearings!
