GE140UK-2RS Spherical Plain Bearing (GE140XT-2RS)
The GE140UK-2RS spherical plain bearing is a robust, two-piece bearing system designed for high-load applications where shaft and housing alignment is critical. Consisting of an inner ring with a convex outer surface and an outer ring with a concave inner surface, this design enables exceptional load-bearing capacity while accommodating misalignment.
This bearing features a sophisticated steel-on-PTFE sliding contact surface, making it maintenance-free throughout its service life. During the initial run-in period, PTFE particles are naturally deposited onto the opposite running surface, filling microscopic irregularities on the inner ring. This creates an optimally smooth surface where components mate perfectly, ensuring reliable operation.
Key Features:
- Double rubber seals (2RS) for enhanced protection against contamination
- Maintenance-free operation due to PTFE sliding surface
- High load-carrying capacity
- Excellent misalignment accommodation
Specifications:
- Inside Diameter: 140mm
- Outside Diameter: 210mm
- Inner Width: 90mm
- Outer Width: 70mm
Common applications include heavy machinery, industrial equipment, automotive suspension systems, and other mechanical systems where shaft misalignment must be accommodated while maintaining high load capacity at relatively slow sliding speeds.
