B 5 / D 14GE5C is a compact metric spherical bearing (standard width) with a 5 mm bore (B) and 14 mm OD (D). Width (W) = 6 mm, inner race width (T) = 4 mm. Approximate weight: 0.004 lb.
Rated at 9 kN static radial load with ±13.0° misalignment angle. The 52100 bearing steel ball is precision ground, heat treated, and hard chrome plated. The carbon steel race is PTFE-lined for self-lubricating, maintenance-free operation, with optional zinc plating for additional corrosion resistance. Suited to shock absorbers, suspension links, industrial linkages, and compact pivot assemblies requiring a self-lubricating metric spherical bearing.
Zinc plated race option available on request. Wide-series metric equivalent is the GEG (GEGC) series. Inch-size fractured-race equivalent is the GEZ series.

The GE5C is a compact metric self-lubricating spherical bearing with a 5 mm bore, sized for shock absorbers, suspension links, industrial linkages, and compact pivot assemblies that need low-maintenance articulation.
Bore (B) is 5 mm, outer diameter (D) is 14 mm, overall width (W) is 6 mm, and inner race width (T) is 4 mm, with an approximate weight of 0.004 lb.
The GE5C is rated at 9 kN static radial load with up to ±13.0° of angular misalignment — check both figures against your housing bore, shaft geometry, and expected duty load before specifying it.
The carbon steel race carries a PTFE liner, so the 52100 bearing steel ball — precision ground, heat treated, and hard chrome plated — articulates against a low-friction PTFE surface instead of requiring grease, which is what makes the GE5C maintenance-free in service compared with a plain metal-to-metal race.
Yes. Zinc plating on the carbon steel race is available as an option on request for additional corrosion resistance beyond the standard PTFE-lined finish.
GE5C belongs to the GEC standard-width metric series. The GEG (GEGC) series is the wide-series metric equivalent, and the GEZ series is the inch-size fractured-race equivalent — choose based on your width requirement and bore unit system.
