Radial Spherical Plain Bearing – GE 17 ES

The SKF GE 17 ES is a radial spherical plain bearing specifically engineered to accommodate both radial and combined radial-axial loads. Its steel/steel sliding contact surface combination provides robustness and durability, making it a reliable choice in demanding applications. The bearing’s spherical design also allows it to compensate for shaft misalignments during operation.

This bearing type is ideal for environments where heavy static, alternating, or impact loads are present. With its ability to withstand tough operating conditions, the GE 17 ES ensures performance stability while providing a long service life when properly maintained. The construction of the inner and outer rings from high-quality bearing steel enhances strength and resistance to wear.

As a maintenance-type spherical plain bearing, the SKF GE 17 ES is equipped with lubrication holes and an annular groove in both rings, enabling relubrication during service. This design reduces friction, prevents premature wear, and ensures dependable operation in applications such as hydraulic cylinders, construction machinery, and industrial equipment.
