Abstract

A bearing segment for a tiltable and rotatable sliding shoe comprises a base on which is supported a bearing pin having a radial ball and socket joint coupling the pin to the shoe. The ball and socket joint has an inner ring supported on the pin and an outer ring fixed to the shoe. The rings have confronting arcuate surfaces which permit limited relative spherical movement of the rings.
