SKF GE35ES-2RS Spherical Ball Bearing

The SKF GE35ES-2RS radial spherical plain bearing is a maintenance-requiring GE-series bearing designed for sliding contact between inner and outer rings while accommodating angular misalignment. It has a 35 mm bore, 55 mm outer diameter, and 25 mm width, and uses steel-on-steel bearing rings with double-seal 2RS protection on both sides to retain lubricant and exclude contaminants. This bearing is relubrication-compatible and requires periodic lubrication to maintain performance. It supports a dynamic load rating of about 80 kN (17,985 lbf) and a static load rating around 399 kN (89,924 lbf), making it suitable for moderate-load pivot joints and sliding connections where misalignment must be accommodated. As a radial spherical plain bearing rather than a rolling-ball bearing, it provides smooth, low-friction motion through sliding contact and is designed to tolerate misalignment between the shaft and housing in harsh industrial environments. The sealed, maintenance-type construction helps protect the lubricant and extend service life when grease is replenished during maintenance cycles.
