Product Overview: The GE 35 Radial Spherical Plain Bearing
The GE 35 is a high-performance radial spherical plain bearing designed to handle heavy radial, axial, and combined loads while accommodating angular misalignment. With a bore diameter of 35mm, an outer diameter of 55mm, and a width of 25mm, this bearing is a robust solution for demanding pivot and linkage applications. As a key component in our Radial Spherical Bearings collection, the GE 35 is manufactured to international standards, ensuring reliability and interchangeability for various industrial needs.
These bearings feature a spherically ground inner ring that fits within a correspondingly shaped outer ring, allowing for tilting and rotational movements. This design is ideal for applications involving slow, oscillating movements where alignment is critical. The steel-on-steel sliding contact surface is engineered for durability and requires lubrication to achieve optimal performance and service life, making it a dependable choice for heavy-duty machinery.
Features of the GE 35 Bearing
- Misalignment Compensation: The spherical design allows the bearing to self-align, compensating for shaft deflection and mounting inaccuracies.
- High Load Capacity: Engineered to support substantial radial loads and moderate bidirectional axial loads simultaneously.
- Durable Construction: Manufactured from high-carbon chromium bearing steel for exceptional hardness and wear resistance under heavy loads.
- Standardized Dimensions: Conforms to ISO standards, ensuring it can be easily integrated into existing designs or used as a direct replacement.
- Optimized for Oscillation: An excellent choice for applications with slow rotational speeds and frequent oscillating or tilting movements.
- Requires Lubrication: Designed for maintenance, with features often included to facilitate the application of grease for smooth, long-lasting operation.
Applications of GE 35 Bearings
- Hydraulic Cylinder Rod Ends: Commonly used as pivot points in the clevises and rod ends of hydraulic and pneumatic cylinders.
- Construction Machinery: Found in the pivot joints of excavators, loaders, and other heavy equipment where robust articulation is needed.
- Agricultural Equipment: Used in linkages and pivot points on tractors, harvesters, and other farm machinery.
