Maintenance-free PTFE composite spherical plain bearing provides smooth, low-friction motion with self-lubricating surfaces, open design for versatile mounting, a 30mm bore, and external protection against contaminants
✔️ 30x47x22mm chrome steel, open inner race, PTFE composite
The GE30C-style spherical plain bearing shown here is a maintenance-free radial bearing with PTFE-based sliding surfaces. It’s open (no seals) and designed to swivel like a ball joint, making it ideal for joints in machinery, automation equipment, hydraulic adapters, and other assemblies where misalignment must be accommodated and lubrication is minimized.
