Overview

GEGC Wide-Race Metric Spherical Bearings Product Overview

GEG17C is a wide-series metric spherical bearing with a 17 mm bore (B) and 35 mm OD (D). Width (W) = 20 mm, inner race width (T) = 12 mm. Approximate weight: 0.083 lb.

Rated at 78 kN static radial load with ±19.0° misalignment angle. The wide-body design provides higher misalignment angle compared to the standard GEC series. 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. Suited to heavy-pivot assemblies, suspension components, and applications requiring increased misalignment range in a metric package.

Zinc plated race option available on request. Standard-width metric equivalent is the GEC series. Inch-size fractured-race equivalent is the GEZ series.

Applications

Where GEGC Wide-Race Metric Spherical Bearings Spherical Bearings Are Used

Hydraulic Cylinders & Lifting Equipment

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.

Construction, Agricultural & Material-Handling Pivots

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.

Automotive Suspension & Structural Linkages

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.

Industrial Equipment

Used in industrial equipment, fabricated mechanisms, and articulated assemblies where wide-series support and low-friction movement are needed together.

Corrosion-Managed Installations

Optional zinc-plated race construction helps support installations where added corrosion resistance is beneficial.

OEM Heavy Linkages

Frequently selected for OEM builds that need wide-series metric spherical-bearing geometry, PTFE-lined articulation, and repeatable assembly sizing.

FAQ

GEGC Wide-Race Metric Spherical Bearings Frequently Asked Questions

What is the GEG17C spherical bearing used for?

The GEG17C is a wide-series metric self-lubricating spherical bearing with a 17 mm bore, suited to heavy-pivot assemblies, suspension components, and applications requiring increased misalignment range in a metric package.

What are the bore and outer dimensions of the GEG17C?

Bore (B) is 17 mm, OD (D) is 35 mm, width (W) is 20 mm, and inner race width (T) is 12 mm, weighing approximately 0.083 lb.

What load and misalignment rating does the GEG17C carry?

The GEG17C is rated at 78 kN static radial load with ±19.0° misalignment angle — the wide-body design gives it a higher misalignment angle than the standard-width GEC series.

Why is the GEG17C self-lubricating?

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.

Is a zinc-plated version of the GEG17C available?

Yes. Zinc plating on the carbon steel race is available as an option on request, in addition to the standard PTFE-lined finish.

What's the difference between the GEG17C and the GEC/GEZ series?

GEG17C belongs to the GEGC wide-series metric line. The standard-width metric equivalent is the GEC series, and the inch-size fractured-race equivalent is the GEZ series — choose based on your width requirement and bore unit system.
