The GE 6 ES RICH is a compact, high-performance radial spherical plain bearing designed to facilitate multi-directional tilting and oscillatory movements. With a 6 mm bore and 14 mm outer diameter, this bearing is engineered for applications where space is minimal but the need for self-alignment is critical. The "ES" designation indicates a steel-on-steel friction pair, featuring an inner ring with a sphered convex outside diameter and an outer ring with a correspondingly sphered but concave inside surface. This construction allows the bearing to effectively manage heavy static loads and alternating loads. The steel-on-steel contact surfaces are hardened and treated to enhance wear resistance; however, they require regular lubrication to ensure smooth operation and prevent corrosion. This model is ideal for hydraulic cylinder ends, steering linkages, and mechanical pivots where shaft misalignment must be accommodated without sacrificing structural integrity.
Transparency Note: This bearing is manufactured under the RICH brand. The code GE 6 ES is used for identification purposes and does not imply affiliation with other manufacturers.
