Split Ring GEC500XS Radial Spherical Plain Bearing, 500×670×230mm, for Heavy-Load Pivot Joints

GEC500XS is a C-series large radial spherical plain bearing whose outer ring is split axially and held by locking rings. Grease ports in the outer ring feed the steel/steel sliding pair, and the hard-chrome inner ring carries the high contact pressure of press rams, mining linkages and mill equipment.

• Split outer ring allows replacement without dismantling a welded housing
• Grease ports and grooves deliver lubricant to the loaded section of the sliding surface
• Hard-chrome inner ring reduces wear where contact pressure peaks
• 3° self-aligning movement absorbs frame deflection on large structures
• 2RS double seals keep dust, scale and coolant out of the sliding pair
