GE 22 E 2RS NAF 22x40x18 - Sealed Spherical Plain Bearing

Applications

The GE 22 E 2RS NAF (22x40x18 mm) is a spherical plain bearing designed for oscillating movements under high radial and axial loads. Its double rubber seals (2RS) provide superior protection against contamination, ensuring long service life and reliable operation in demanding environments.

This bearing is commonly used in hydraulic cylinders, construction machinery, agricultural equipment, suspension joints, and industrial automation systems. The spherical sliding contact allows for smooth angular movement and automatic misalignment compensation, reducing stress on mechanical assemblies.

Advantages

• High load capacity - suitable for heavy-duty applications with dynamic forces.

• 2RS sealing system - protects against dust, dirt, and moisture.

• Hardened bearing steel - ensures durability and long service life.

• Self-aligning design - ideal for misaligned shafts or joint connections.

• Low maintenance - retains lubrication effectively and resists wear.

FAQ

1. What does GE 22 E 2RS mean?
“GE” identifies a spherical plain bearing, “22” is the inner diameter (mm), “E” denotes an enhanced load design, and “2RS” indicates double rubber seals on both sides.

2. What is the main purpose of this bearing?
It’s used in hydraulic actuators, steering systems, suspension arms, and mechanical linkages, where angular movement and high loads occur.

3. Why are seals (2RS) important?
They protect the bearing from contaminants such as dirt, mud, and moisture, extending service life and reducing maintenance intervals.

4. Is lubrication required?
Periodic lubrication is recommended to maintain optimal performance and prevent metal-to-metal wear.

5. Is this bearing available from stock?
Yes - the GE 22 E 2RS NAF is available from our warehouse with fast 24-hour delivery across Poland and Europe.
