Description

The SKF GE 20 C is a radial spherical plain bearing with a robust design and reliable performance. Constructed with a hardened steel inner and outer ring and a steel and bronze contact surface, it offers wear and corrosion resistance. These features mean minimal lubrication is required, simplifying maintenance.

Materials and Construction

• Ring Material: Hardened steel, coupled with a bronze coating to reduce friction and resist wear.
• Lubrication: Requires periodic lubrication; compatible with industrial grease-based lubricants (e.g. SKF LGEP 2 grease for high-pressure applications).

Mechanical Characteristics

This model can support heavy loads and handle oscillating movements even in misaligned conditions, thanks to its ability to tolerate dynamic loads up to 39 kN and static loads up to 197 kN.

Application Sectors

Mainly used in industrial fields such as:

• Construction machinery
• Agricultural plants
• Mining and steel sectors

Assembly and Maintenance

To properly install the GE 20 C, we recommend following SKF guidelines, using precision tools and adhering to the torque specifications to avoid damage during installation. It's also essential to use suitable lubricants to ensure optimal operation and bearing life.

Price and Availability

The average price for a GE 20 C bearing is around €15-20, with availability from authorized dealers or immediate delivery from mechanical component warehouses. For a quick and guaranteed purchase, purchasing from stock can be advantageous as it reduces machine downtime and ensures constant access to spare parts.
