GE160 Single Split Outer Ring Radial Spherical Plain Bearing

1. Product Overview

The GE160 is a maintenance-required radial spherical plain bearing with a single-split outer ring and one-piece inner ring, adopting a standard steel-on-steel sliding contact pair. It is designed with an integral annular lubrication groove and radial lubrication holes on both rings, enabling regular grease replenishment to maintain low friction, stable wear resistance and reliable performance during long-term heavy-load operation.
This bearing can carry heavy radial loads combined with bidirectional axial loads, and features inherent self-aligning capability to automatically compensate for shaft deflection and mounting misalignment. It is ideal for low-speed, heavy-load, oscillating and tilting motion applications, widely used in construction machinery articulation points, hydraulic cylinders, metallurgical equipment, mining machinery and heavy lifting devices.

2. Key Advantages

• Single-split outer ring design enables convenient assembly and disassembly, suitable for compact articulated mounting positions and limited-space equipment
• Wide spherical contact interface delivers excellent radial and bidirectional axial load capacity, withstands heavy shock and impact loads under harsh working conditions
• Standard steel-on-steel contact pair with high hardness and excellent wear resistance, adapts to heavy-duty industrial operating environments
• Built-in annular lubrication groove and oil holes support regular grease replenishment, extend service life and reduce on-site maintenance cost
• Self-aligning performance compensates for shaft deflection and mounting errors, perfectly matches oscillating and tilting working conditions
• Standard boundary dimensions comply with DIN ISO 12240-1, for direct interchangeability with mainstream brand counterparts

👉 Helps reduce maintenance cost and improve overall equipment efficiency
