SKF GE70ES-2RS Spherical Plain Bearing

Genuine SKF spherical plain bearing with steel-on-steel sliding contact. This maintenance-required bearing is designed for applications involving high radial loads, oscillating movement, shock loads, and angular misalignment.

The GE70ES-2RS consists of a convex inner ring and a concave outer ring, allowing the bearing to accommodate shaft misalignment while supporting very high loads. Double-lip seals on both sides help protect the sliding surfaces from contamination and retain lubricant.

Design and Performance

Spherical plain bearings do not use balls or rollers. Instead, the spherical sliding surfaces of the inner and outer rings move directly against each other.

The steel-on-steel design provides:

• Very high load-carrying capacity
• Excellent resistance to shock loads
• Ability to accommodate angular misalignment
• Good performance under oscillating and slow rotational movement
• High wear resistance when properly lubricated

Because this is a steel-on-steel design, regular lubrication is required to reduce friction, minimize wear, and help protect the bearing against corrosion.

Common Applications

The SKF GE70ES-2RS may be used in demanding applications such as:

• Hydraulic cylinders
• Construction equipment
• Agricultural machinery
• Mining equipment
• Heavy industrial machinery
• Material-handling equipment
• Articulated joints
• Linkages and pivot assemblies
• Cranes and lifting equipment
• Earthmoving machinery
• Steel and processing equipment
• Industrial suspension and steering systems

Application compatibility depends on the original bearing number, shaft and housing dimensions, load direction, operating angle, lubrication, temperature, and environmental conditions.
