CA Tech USA FK-Bearings Wide Series Spherical Bearings
Premium heavy‑duty spherical bearing engineered for long‑travel suspension arms, radius rods, and control links — heat‑treated stainless steel construction with self‑lubricating PTFE liner for high load capacity and extended service life.
Features
- Heat‑Treated Stainless Steel Components:
- 440C stainless steel ball — hardened for maximum wear resistance
- 17‑4 PH stainless steel race — high strength and corrosion resistance
- Self‑Lubricating PTFE Liner: Chemically bonded to the inner race — delivers consistent low friction, eliminates need for frequent greasing, and resists chemical and moisture degradation.
- Wide Series Design: Extended contact surface distributes load over larger area — ideal for long‑travel suspension, radius rods, and high‑angle articulation applications.
- High Load Capacity: Optimized internal geometry supports heavy static and dynamic loads common in UTV/SxS and off‑road builds.
- Optional Staking Groove: Machined feature available for secure installation and positive retention.
- Industry Standard: Genuine FK Bearings — the choice of top suspension builders and performance manufacturers.

Why It Stands Out
Generic bearings wear fast and need constant maintenance — genuine FK Wide Series units use premium stainless alloys plus a permanently bonded PTFE liner that stays lubricated, reduces friction, and lasts longer under extreme loads. The standard choice when you’re building for performance and durability.
