Stainless steel gearboxes are widely used in industrial transmission fields due to their high strength and corrosion resistance. However, in actual use, stainless steel gearboxes may still malfunction due to improper design, installation, lubrication or maintenance....
GE C Spherical Plain Bearing – Maintenance-Free PTFE
GE C Spherical Plain Bearing is a documented maintenance-free series for industrial linkage or pivot applications. Maintenance-free PTFE composite sliding layer; outer ring pressed around the inner ring. Use the main image for identification and the full product description for model-by-model dimensions and load data.
MOQ: 50 pcs. Minimum order value USD 1,500; mixed orders and trial quantities welcome.
GE C is a compact maintenance-free radial spherical plain bearing. The outer ring is pressed around the inner ring and carries a PTFE composite sliding layer, while the spherical surface of the inner ring is chromium plated. The catalogue covers 6–30 mm bores.

Typical Applications
Selection Guide
This family is attractive where a grease line would complicate a compact assembly. Select by d, D, B and C first, then check the catalogue load ratings and tilt angle.
Installation & Maintenance
Do not add a grease routine to a PTFE maintenance-free bearing unless a project-specific engineering instruction explicitly calls for it.
Related Bearings
GEG C provides a heavier maintenance-free envelope; GE E / GE ES 2RS is serviceable and available across a much broader bore range; GE ET 2RS uses PTFE fabric and double seals.
