SKF GE 110 TXE-2LS is a maintenance-free radial spherical plain bearing with dimensions 110x160x70 mm. It combines a steel/PTFE fabric sliding contact surface with heavy-duty 2LS triple-lip seals on both sides. The spherical sliding geometry accommodates angular misalignment while carrying radial and combined radial/axial loads.

The principal dimensions of SKF GE 110 TXE-2LS are:
d = 110 mm - bore diameter
D = 160 mm - outside diameter
B = 70 mm - inner ring width
C = 55 mm - outer ring width
α = 6° - angle of tilt
Basic dimensional designation:
110x160x70 mm
The additional C = 55 mm value is important because the outer ring is narrower than the inner ring.
The sliding contact combination is:
steel/PTFE fabric
The bearing steel surface operates against a PTFE-fabric sliding layer. This construction is designed for maintenance-free operation and does not require routine relubrication.
This is an important technical distinction from lubricated steel/steel spherical plain bearings.
The suffix:
2LS
identifies heavy-duty triple-lip contact seals on both sides.
The sealing system is part of the exact GE 110 TXE-2LS configuration and should be considered when selecting an equivalent bearing.
A bearing with the same boundary dimensions but a different sealing arrangement should not automatically be considered technically identical.
A radial spherical plain bearing is primarily designed to accommodate radial loads and can also carry combined radial and axial loads.
The spherical sliding surfaces permit angular movement between the inner and outer rings, allowing the bearing to accommodate misalignment.
For GE 110 TXE-2LS, the specified angle of tilt is:
α = 6°
SKF specifies:
Basic dynamic load rating C = 1860 kN
Basic static load rating C0 = 3100 kN
These values are bearing catalogue ratings used for engineering selection and life calculations. They should not be interpreted as universal maximum permissible loads for every bearing arrangement.
These two variants should not be treated as identical.
GE 110 TXE-2LS
Sliding contact: steel/PTFE fabric
Maintenance: maintenance-free
Relubrication: no routine relubrication
Dynamic load rating C: 1860 kN
Static load rating C0: 3100 kN
GE 110 ES-2LS
uses a different steel/steel sliding contact combination and is a lubricated design.
Therefore, identical basic dimensions do not establish technical interchangeability between TXE-2LS and ES-2LS.
When selecting an equivalent for SKF GE 110 TXE-2LS, verify:
d = 110 mm
D = 160 mm
B = 70 mm
C = 55 mm
radial spherical plain bearing design
steel/PTFE fabric sliding contact
maintenance-free construction
2LS heavy-duty sealing
6° angle of tilt
C = 1860 kN
C0 = 3100 kN
The dimensions 110x160x70 mm alone are not sufficient to confirm complete interchangeability.

The principal dimensions are 110x160x70 mm: d = 110 mm, D = 160 mm and B = 70 mm. The outer ring width C is 55 mm.
It is a radial spherical plain bearing designed to accommodate radial and combined loads while permitting angular movement between the rings.
The sliding contact combination is steel/PTFE fabric.
It is a maintenance-free spherical plain bearing and does not have a routine relubrication requirement.
2LS identifies heavy-duty triple-lip seals on both sides of the bearing.
The basic dynamic load rating is C = 1860 kN, while the basic static load rating is C0 = 3100 kN.
The specified angle of tilt is 6°.
Not automatically. TXE-2LS uses steel/PTFE fabric and is maintenance-free, while ES-2LS uses a different steel/steel sliding contact system. The sliding contact, lubrication requirements, load ratings and complete bearing specification must be checked.
SKF GE 110 TXE-2LS is a maintenance-free radial spherical plain bearing 110x160x70 mm with a steel/PTFE fabric sliding contact combination and heavy-duty 2LS triple-lip seals on both sides. Outer ring width is 55 mm, angle of tilt 6°, dynamic load rating 1860 kN and static load rating 3100 kN.
