ITEM NUMBER:GE100-AW-A 

SIZE:100*210*59mm

WEIGHT:11KG

The GE100-AW-A is an axial spherical plain bearing. Axial spherical plain bearings are two-piece plain bearings. They have no rolling elements, but consist of a shaft washer and a housing washer. The shaft washer has a convex surface. The housing washer has a concave inner surface. This construction gives spherical plain bearings their high load carrying capacity and capacity to accommodate misalignment.

The GE100-AW-A  has a steel-on-PTFE sliding contact which makes it maintenance-free. PTFE is a special plastic. During the run-in period of these plain bearings, particles of PTFE are deposited on the opposite running surface. They fill in the small irregularities of the inner ring surface, creating a smooth surface. As a result, the components fit each other perfectly.

Sliding bearings are the simplest types of bearings used in engineering. Its principle of operation is based on the ability to slide between two surfaces in contact.

Rod end is a mechanical component that allows, at the same time, the transmission of static and dynamic forces with oscillating, rotating and tilting alignment movements in various directions.

Bearings facilitate the movement between a shaft and the parts attached to it. There are a great deal of types depending on different aspects such as loads, accuracy, rolling elements or speed.
