GE12 Stainless Steel Self-Lubricating Spherical Plain Bearing
GE12 is a GE series spherical plain bearing with a 12 mm bore, 22 mm outside diameter, B = 10 mm and C = 7 mm. The catalog lists stainless steel with PTFE composite material or PTFE fabric liner options, each with its own load rating.
Description
GE12 dimensions and catalog ratings
| Parameter | Value | Unit |
|---|---|---|
| d | 12 | mm |
| D | 22 | mm |
| B | 10 | mm |
| C | 7 | mm |

| Dynamic load rating — PTFE fabric liner | 26.0 | kN |
| Approximate weight | 0.017 | kg |
Dimension symbols follow the catalog. Confirm tolerances and installation interfaces against the approved drawing before ordering.
Comparing GE12 with nearby catalog entries
Other catalog entries with the same 12 mm bore have different dimensions: GEG12: D 26 mm, B 15 mm, C 9 mm and an approximate tilt angle of 18°. GEG12/K: D 28 mm, B 19 mm, C 9 mm and an approximate tilt angle of 30°. A matching bore alone does not establish interchangeability.
Choose the liner for your enquiry
The two dynamic load ratings refer to different PTFE liner options. They are not additive, and they are not allowable working loads or service-life guarantees. State the preferred liner or ask for assistance, together with loads, movement, temperature and environmental conditions.
Ordering details to confirm
Use GE12 as the catalog reference when enquiring. Confirm the complete ordering designation for the selected liner and end-face geometry.
The catalog specifies stainless steel without a grade in this table. Include any required material grade, clearance, starting torque and inspection conditions. These details and the operating limits need confirmation for the requested configuration.
Need a matching rod or linkage?
Send the end connections, centre distance, installation space and drawing revision if the bearing is part of a custom linkage. SphAxis can coordinate a review with supply partners. Single-piece custom enquiries are welcome. Feasibility, specifications, any development or tooling costs and lead time are confirmed during review.
