GEH..C - Open (without seals), self-lubricating sliding surfaces have to be externally protected from contaminants; wider inner ring and larger outside diameter to enable higher load ratings and large tilt angle

 

Spherical Plain Bearings are suitable for high load applications where there is limited oscillating movement. Typical applications include hydraulic cylinders, steering systems and applications with moving rods.

Construction can include different lining materials, common options are:

 

Steel on Steel - Requiring lubrication

PTFE - Maintenance Free
