GE220UK-2RS Spherical Plain Bearing (GE220ET-2RS)
This GE220UK-2RS spherical plain bearing consists of an inner and outer ring design, where the inner ring features a convex outer surface that works in conjunction with the outer rings concave inner surface. This innovative two-piece construction delivers exceptional load-carrying capacity while allowing for misalignment compensation.
The bearing features a premium steel-on-PTFE sliding contact surface, making it maintenance-free. During the initial run-in period, PTFE particles are deposited onto the opposing surface, effectively filling any minor surface irregularities on the inner ring. This creates an optimally smooth operating surface where components mate perfectly.
Key Features:
- Maintenance-free operation with steel-on-PTFE sliding contact surface
- Hard chromium/PTFE composite contact surface (UK specification)
- Double-sealed design with lip seals on both sides (2RS)
- Inner diameter: 220mm
- Outer diameter: 320mm
- Inner width: 135mm
- Outer width: 100mm
Common Applications:
- Heavy industrial machinery
- Construction equipment
- Material handling systems
- Applications requiring misalignment compensation
- Environments where maintenance access is limited
This bearing is ideal for applications where alignment movements between shaft and housing need to be accommodated, or where oscillating or recurring tilting movements occur at relatively slow sliding speeds. The double-sealed design provides excellent protection against contamination, making it suitable for challenging operating environments.
