GE200TXG3A-2LS Spherical Plain Bearing
Selection Guide
A spherical plain bearing works through a sphered sliding contact pair with no rolling elements: high load capacity, good shock resistance and self-alignment, able to carry combined radial and axial load, but limited to slow oscillation or slow rotation — never for high-speed rotation. Key selection points: maintenance-required types (steel-on-steel or steel-on-bronze, needing periodic greasing, such as the G series) versus self-lubricating types (steel with a PTFE liner or coated bronze, maintenance-free, such as GE..C and GE..T series); confirm the sphere diameter, bore and width, permissible tilt angle, and whether a rod end version with internal or external thread is required.

Can you provide engineering drawings and material certificates for GE200TXG3A-2LS?
Yes—CAD/DXF/PDF high-precision drawings and 3.1 material certificates (GCr15 bearing steel) for GE200TXG3A-2LS are available on request from RAYSDE.
GE200TXG3A-2LS How do I choose between a spherical plain bearing and a rolling bearing?
Decide from the motion and the load character. A spherical plain bearing works by sliding on a spherical surface and suits slow oscillation, repeated tilting, heavy shock loads and misaligned hinge points; it offers high capacity in a compact envelope but cannot run as a continuous high-speed rotation. Rolling bearings — deep groove ball, spherical roller, tapered roller and so on — suit continuous rotation at higher speed. If your position is a hydraulic cylinder pivot, a linkage joint or a suspension arm, meaning slow oscillation with heavy shock load, choose a spherical plain bearing.
GE200TXG3A-2LS Should I choose a maintenance-required or a self-lubricating spherical plain bearing?
Maintenance-required types (steel-on-steel or steel-on-bronze) need periodic greasing through a nipple and give higher load capacity and better shock resistance, suiting heavy-duty equipment that is easy to service. Self-lubricating types carry a PTFE fabric or coated liner between the rings and need no re-greasing in service, suiting locations that are hard to service, dusty or specified as maintenance-free, though capacity and shock resistance are lower than a maintenance type of the same size. Send us the load, oscillation frequency and service conditions and we will confirm the type.
