Yielding in Bearing
Yielding in Bearing
(OP)
I have an unusual situation where there is a large diameter pin (4.5" diameter) that is bearing on a 1.5" plate but is not perfectly perpendicular to that plate. It is, perhaps, off by one degree (approx. 1 in 50). The bearing stress was very high with the pin being perfectly square but now with it skewed to the hole it is into an area where I am sure it would yield.
Any comments or suggestions?

With moving pinned connections we typically provide a sleeve bearing by Rexnord (PTFE coated fiber matix) or a spherical bearing by RBC or Aurora. Again we always use the PTFE lined ones, they have a high capacity and are pretty economical.

if everything is slightly off-axis, i'd think it isn't too much of a problem, i think the load would peak slightly on the near side.

Yielding is not a concern, notching of the pin leading to failure is.
Thanks for reviewing those issues!
