Umgomo wokusebenza wama-bearings angama-spherical plain usekelwe ekwakhiweni okuyingqayizivele kwesakhiwo sawo. Ngokubambisana komkhono wangaphandle, umkhono wangaphakathi, nokuhlanganisa ibhola, bathola ibhalansi phakathi{1}}nomthamo wokuthwala nokuguquguquka.
Emishinini, ama-bearings ayisiyingi ayindilinga avame ukusetshenziselwa ukumelana nemithwalo eyinkimbinkimbi nokunyakaza, njengasezinhlelweni zokumisa amathayi. Zinikeza umthwalo oqinile{1}}amandla okuthwala kuyilapho futhi zimelana nokudlidliza, ukukhathala, nokushuba.
Ngaphezu kwalokho, ama-spherical plain bearings asetshenziswa kakhulu ezinhlelweni ezahlukahlukene zokulawula imishini, njengezilawuli zemishini yenjini kanye nemishini yokushayela imoto. Idizayini yabo enengqondo inciphisa ngempumelelo ukudlidliza nomsindo, iqinisekisa ukusebenza kwemishini okushelelayo, okuzinzile, okuphephile nokuthembekile.
