Spherical plain bearing GE.ES Series is similar to a rod end, but is designed to be pressed into plates or housings and is used to absorb misalignment in a linkage. GE...ES type has a large spherical sliding contact area and a large angle of inclination. The metric size GE-ES series spherical plain bearing is made of precision ground 52100 bearing steel via heat treated, phosphated, and fractured. The sliding surfaces are treated with MoS2. Therefore they can operate with low torque, and have excellent wear resistance and large load capacity. They are especially suitable for applications where there are alternate loads and shock loads.

Spherical plain bearings GE..ES series are self-aligning spherical plain bushings that have inner and outer rings with spherical sliding surfaces, and can take a large radial load and a bi-directional axial load at the same time.

The GE…ES type can be provided with seals, which are double-lip type polyurethane seals effective for prevention against grease leakage and dust penetration. The sealed type is indicated by the suffix "-2RS" at the end of the identification number.

Application

The spherical plain bearings are widely used in mining and haul truck, oil derricks, robotics and animation, vehicles, construction equipment etc.
