SKF maintenance-free spherical plain bearings

SKF manufactures maintenance-free radial spherical plain bearings in a variety of designs and a wide range of sizes. Three sliding contact surface combinations are available:

  • steel/PTFE sintered bronze, designation suffix C
  • steel/PTFE fabric, designation suffix TX
  • steel/PTFE FRP, designation suffix F

All three sliding contact surface combinations are self-lubricating. Bearings with a steel/PTFE sintered bronze or steel/PTFE fabric sliding contact surface combinations must not be lubricated. Bearings with a steel/PTFE FRP (fibre reinforced polymer) sliding contact surface combination are also maintenance-free, whereas occasional relubrication is beneficial to help maximize bearing service life. To facilitate relubrication, steel/PTFE FRP bearings are equipped with lubrication facilities.

The dimensions of metric maintenance-free radial spherical plain bearings are in accordance with ISO 12240-1:1998. The dimensions of inch bearings in the GEZ series are in accordance with ANSI/ABMA Std. 22.2-1988.
