AKN GEM60 ES-2RS

AKN GEM 60 ES-2RS Radial Spherical Plain Bearing Description The AKN GEM 60 ES-2RS is a robust radial spherical plain bearing designed for applications with heavy loads and potential misalignment. This steel-on-steel bearing requires periodic lubrication and is equipped with contact seals on both sides (2RS) to prevent the ingress of dirt and retain grease, extending its operational life. It is ideal for pivoting points in various industrial machinery. Specifications Manufacturer: AKN Type: GEM 60 ES-2RS Product Type: Radial Spherical Plain Bearing Bore Diameter: 60 mm Outside Diameter: 90 mm Inner Ring Width: 44 mm Sealing: 2RS – Contact seals on both sides Sliding Contact Surface: Steel/Steel Application This bearing is suitable for use in demanding applications such as agricultural machinery, construction equipment, hydraulic cylinder rod ends, and other articulated joints where high loads and oscillatory movements are present. CO2 Impact Choosing a pre-owned component like this bearing helps reduce industrial waste and saves approximately 1.7 kg of CO2 compared to manufacturing a new one. This environmental saving is equivalent to the emissions from a 8.5 km car journey. Availability This item is in stock and ready for immediate dispatch.

FAQ What type of lubrication is suitable for a steel-on-steel GEM 60 ES-2RS bearing?A high-pressure lithium-based grease is generally recommended for steel-on-steel spherical plain bearings. Always consult your machinery’s maintenance manual for specific lubricant requirements corresponding to your application’s load, speed, and temperature conditions. Can this bearing accommodate misalignment, and if so, by how much?Yes, spherical plain bearings are designed specifically to accommodate misalignment between the shaft and housing. The exact angle of misalignment depends on the specific design and mounting, but bearings of this type can typically handle several degrees of static misalignment. What is the significance of the ‘2RS’ suffix on this bearing?The ‘2RS’ suffix indicates that the bearing is fitted with contact seals on both sides. These seals are typically made from a synthetic rubber material and provide effective protection against moisture and solid contaminants, while also helping to retain the lubricant within the bearing.
