Self-lubricating PTFE Lined Angular Contact Thrust Joint Bearing GE..AW
GE..A bearings are thrust joint bearings engineered to withstand unidirectional axial loads or combined loads. Featuring self-aligning capabilities, these bearings are ideal for low-speed swing applications under heavy load conditions. The design includes a flat-bottomed seat with lubricating oil holes on the inner ring and a spherical outer ring structure that effectively compensates for installation errors and structural deformations.

Material Specifications
Both inner and outer rings are manufactured from carbon chromium steel with hardening treatment for enhanced durability. The outer race sliding surface features PTFE fabric lining, while the inner ring's spherical surface is hard chrome plated for superior performance.
Product Features
- Load Capacity: Capable of withstanding both large radial loads and unidirectional axial loads simultaneously
- Alignment Angle: Allows for deviation compensation (typically 1°-4.5°) to accommodate installation errors and structural deformations
- Operating Conditions: Suitable for low-speed swinging and reciprocating motion, not recommended for high-speed rotation
- Maintenance-Free: Built-in PTFE lubrication layer eliminates the need for additional lubrication, enabling long-term maintenance-free operation
Application Information
Where is this bearing used?
Construction machinery: excavator arm connections, loader steering knuckles; Automotive systems: balance bridge suspensions, steering rod joints; Agricultural machinery: harvester transmission arms, tractor suspension devices; Industrial equipment: welding robot joints, rotary table support points.
Why choose spherical plain bearings?
These bearings offer excellent impact resistance, dust resistance, and lubrication-free operation, significantly enhancing machine lifetime and reliability.
How to choose the correct bearing size?
Select according to inner diameter, which determines the shaft diameter where the bearing will be installed.
Installation Guidelines
- Align Installation Direction: Ensure proper alignment of inner and outer rings, paying attention to lubrication grooves or positioning marks as per drawing requirements
- Use Specialized Tools for Press Fit: Apply uniform force to the inner ring end face using a press or hydraulic device with a sleeve (when inner ring is tightly fitted with shaft). Never transmit installation force through the outer ring or rolling elements to prevent sliding surface damage
- Control Pressing Speed and Force: Slowly press in to avoid deformation of the inner ring or peeling of the chrome plating layer caused by impact loads
- Bidirectional Load Applications: For equipment requiring bidirectional axial force, install two GAC.T bearings back-to-back or face-to-face in pairs with consistent preload force
Purchasing Guide
Environmental Adaptability Considerations: For humid environments, select reinforced sealing types (such as GAC.T-SL). For strong corrosive environments, consider custom stainless steel materials or specialized coatings to ensure optimal performance and longevity.
