Spherical plain bearings SKF GX 17 F, Outer diameter: 47 mm | Width: 16 mm | Inner diameter: 17 mm

Many applications require spherical bearings that are suitable for oscillating movements and that can accommodate misalignment. Rolling bearings only partly fulfil these requirements as they are generally designed for continuous rotation and can only accommodate limited misalignment. Therefore, SKF manufactures spherical plain bearings, rod ends and bushings to provide an economical solution to these challenges. SKF manufactures spherical plain bearings, rod ends and bushings in various designs and with different sliding contact surface combinations. Each design and combination has characteristic properties which makes it particularly suitable for certain applications.

Axial spherical plain bearings are designed to accommodate axial and combined radial-axial loads. This specific design features a maintenance-free steel/PTFE-FRP sliding pair. However, re-lubrication from both sides is possible if the longest possible bearing service life is to be achieved.
