Ask for Custom SupportGEGC Wide-Race Metric Spherical Bearings are metric spherical plain bearings made from an inner spherical ring and an outer race that permit controlled rotation, oscillation, and angular misalignment. The wide-race geometry provides a broader mounting interface for suitable housings and linkage structures. These bearings are commonly installed in rod eyes, cylinder ends, suspension links, lifting equipment, agricultural machinery, and other slow-moving pivot points. Confirm fit, race material, seals, lubrication, load direction, and edge support before installation.
Spherical plain bearings accommodate angular misalignment and oscillating motion at cylinder eyes, lifting arms, and other pivot connections. Select the race, seals, lubrication, and load direction for the duty cycle.
These bearings are commonly used at heavily loaded pivot points in construction, forestry, agricultural, and material-handling machinery where slow oscillation, shock, contamination, and service access influence the bearing choice.
The spherical inner and outer surfaces support controlled angular movement in suspension links, axle connections, and fabricated mechanisms. Confirm bore fit, housing support, edge loading, and required misalignment before installation.
Used in industrial equipment, fabricated mechanisms, and articulated assemblies where wide-series support and low-friction movement are needed together.
Optional zinc-plated race construction helps support installations where added corrosion resistance is beneficial.
Frequently selected for OEM builds that need wide-series metric spherical-bearing geometry, PTFE-lined articulation, and repeatable assembly sizing.
GEGC spherical bearings are used in wide-series metric articulated joints and linkage positions where self-lubricating PTFE-lined movement and larger section dimensions are required.
GEGC uses a 52100 bearing steel ball, precision ground, heat treated, and hard chrome plated, together with a carbon-steel outer ring that is PTFE lined and may be zinc plated as an option.
Yes. GEGC is a self-lubricating spherical-bearing series built around PTFE-lined race construction for low-friction articulation.
GEGC is the wide-series version of the metric self-lubricating spherical-bearing platform, with larger section dimensions than the standard-width GEC series for similar bore sizes.
Choose GEGC when the application benefits from wide-series geometry, larger section dimensions, and the same PTFE-lined self-lubricating articulation used in the GEC family.
Start with the required bore, OD, widths, misalignment angle, and static radial load in the size chart, then confirm the wide-series geometry suits the available packaging and duty level.
