GEZ 108 ES SKF Radial Spherical Plain Bearing 38,1x61,913x33,325

Heavy-Duty Radial Spherical Plain Bearing for Industrial Applications

ES Steel-on-Steel Design for High Load Capacity

Technical Data and Installation Configuration

Main Description:
The GEZ 108 ES SKF 38,1x61,913x33,325 is a radial spherical plain bearing engineered for high load capacity and reliable performance in demanding industrial environments. Designed to accommodate misalignment and oscillating movement, this bearing is widely used in hydraulic cylinders, construction machinery, agricultural equipment and heavy-duty mechanical linkages.

With dimensions 38,1x61,913x33,325 mm (inner diameter x outer diameter x width), the GEZ 108 ES follows inch-based sizing standards commonly found in industrial and mobile equipment. Unlike a conventional ball bearing (łożysko kulkowe), a spherical plain bearing operates with sliding contact surfaces, allowing it to withstand very high radial loads at low to moderate speeds while compensating for angular misalignment.

The ES designation indicates a steel-on-steel sliding contact design requiring periodic lubrication. This configuration provides high durability, strong shock resistance and long service life under dynamic loading conditions. The precision-machined spherical raceway ensures even stress distribution, reducing edge loading and supporting stable operation in heavy industrial applications.

GEZ 108 ES SKF can be installed in a suitable bearing housing (obudowa łożyskowa) or integrated into a complete bearing unit (jednostka łożyskowa) depending on the mechanical assembly. It is particularly suitable for pivot joints, rod ends and structural connections where both load capacity and alignment flexibility are critical.

For OEM manufacturers and maintenance departments, this radial spherical plain bearing offers predictable performance, resistance to vibration and extended operational reliability in harsh working conditions.

FAQ

1. What is the difference between a spherical plain bearing and a ball bearing?
A spherical plain bearing uses sliding contact surfaces and supports higher radial loads with misalignment capability, while a ball bearing is designed for higher rotational speeds and mixed loads.

2. What do the dimensions 38,1x61,913x33,325 represent?
They indicate inner diameter x outer diameter x width in millimeters.

3. Does GEZ 108 ES require lubrication?
Yes, the ES steel-on-steel design requires periodic lubrication for optimal performance and durability.

4. In which applications is this bearing commonly used?
It is typically used in hydraulic cylinders, construction equipment, agricultural machinery and heavy-duty pivot systems.

5. Can it operate inside a bearing housing?
Yes, it can be mounted in a compatible housing or used as part of a larger bearing assembly.
