Sliding bearings with curved internal cylindrical surfaces have great potential and can play an important role in the repair and restoration of mechanisms of the agro-industrial complex. Since their use is becoming more and more common, there is a need to improve the design of such bearings to ensure their quality use and avoid errors in research on this issue, in addition, achieving better results in this area require significant financial investments to improve the efficiency of such mechanisms. The main goal of this work is to provide recommendations aimed at eliminating errors in the processes of improving and improving the quality of sliding bearings, as well as analyzing the functioning of machines used in the agro-industrial complex. An analytical method, a classification method, a functional method, a statistical method, and a synthesis method were used. In the course of the research, the peculiarities and differences of sliding bearings with curvilinear generators of the internal cylindrical surface were noted, errors and their causes, which are allowed during the improvement of agro-industrial mechanisms that ensure the development of the agricultural industry, were analyzed. It is important to analyze the functioning of these mechanisms in order to assess their effectiveness, development and complexity of work during the production of agricultural products. The issue of evaluating the performance of sliding bearings of this type, the expediency of using this element, their limitations during the process, the impact of limitations on the result was considered, and recommendations were proposed that would contribute to an effective mechanism for regulating the issue. It was determined that the use of sliding bearings of this type, in the process of restoring agro-industrial mechanisms, will ensure a significant increase in the productivity of these machines. The practical value of this work lies in the possibility of applying the obtained results to eliminate errors in the development and improvement of the mechanisms of the agro-industrial complex, studying the reliability of the use of sliding bearings in general, taking into account various factors, will provide a basis for recommendations on the appropriate use of these bearings
