Spherical plain bearing series E steel on steel, regreasable with lip seal on both sides. Dimensions identical to series GE…E-2RS but ball with shoulder. Through the ball with shoulder no distance rings are required.
SPB GEEM…ES-2RS radial spherical plain bearings are designed for heavy-duty articulated connections requiring reliable load transmission, angular movement and additional protection against external contaminants.
Featuring a steel-on-steel sliding contact design, these bearings consist of an inner ring with a spherical outside surface and an outer ring with a matching spherical inside surface. This construction allows oscillating and tilting movements while accommodating angular misalignment between connected components.
The extended inner-ring design distinguishes this series from standard spherical plain bearings. Its shoulder-shaped inner ring can simplify certain mounting arrangements by eliminating the need for separate distance rings.
In addition, two lip seals are fitted on both sides of the bearing to help prevent dust and other external contaminants from entering the sliding contact area and to help retain lubricant.
Extended inner-ring design: The shoulder-shaped inner ring can simplify installation in suitable joint arrangements without separate distance rings.
Steel-on-steel sliding surfaces: Suitable for demanding applications involving heavy loads and oscillating movements.
Double-sided lip seals: Help protect the bearing against dust and external contaminants while helping retain lubricant.
Relubrication capability: Lubrication grooves and holes allow grease replenishment according to the bearing design and maintenance requirements.
Durable construction: Hardened, ground and surface-treated bearing rings support wear resistance and reliable sliding performance.
Angular movement: The spherical contact surfaces accommodate pivoting movements and limited misalignment between connected components.
GEEM…ES-2RS bearings are suitable for selected hydraulic cylinder mounting arrangements where a compact articulated connection is required. They can be used in cylinder mounting eyes, rod-end connections and pivot joints, provided the dimensions and load ratings meet the application requirements.
The double-sided seals help protect the sliding surfaces from dust and contaminants in industrial operating environments.
Construction equipment, including excavators, loaders and other heavy machinery, relies on articulated joints to connect moving components. GEEM…ES-2RS bearings can be considered for suitable pivot and linkage mechanisms that require load support, angular movement and additional contamination protection.
Tractors, harvesting equipment and other agricultural machinery often operate in dusty outdoor environments. These bearings may be suitable for articulated connections and linkage systems where the extended inner-ring design and double-sided seals meet the installation and operating requirements.
Industrial machinery frequently uses pivoting connections between mechanical components. GEEM…ES-2RS bearings can be used in suitable articulated mechanisms where radial load support, oscillating movement and protection against external contaminants are required.
Certain vehicle and transport equipment assemblies use spherical plain bearings to accommodate angular movement between connected components. GEEM…ES-2RS may be considered for suitable applications when its dimensions, load ratings, movement limits and operating conditions are compatible with the assembly design.
Compared with a conventional open-type spherical plain bearing, GEEM…ES-2RS offers two key design advantages: an extended inner ring and seals on both sides.
The extended inner ring can simplify certain mounting arrangements, while the seals help reduce the entry of dust and external contaminants. These features make the bearing a useful option for applications where installation geometry and environmental protection are important considerations.
The most suitable bearing should always be selected according to the required dimensions, load ratings, permissible angular movement, lubrication method and operating environment.
