Description
SKF GE 120 TXA-2LS is a spherical plain bearing reference, within Bearings. Request a quote for GE 120 TXA-2LS via WhatsApp or email with the quantity you need; we respond promptly with lead time and equivalents.
The SKF radial spherical plain bearing of the GE TXA-2LS series is a sliding spherical bearing that allows oscillating and aligning movements between shafts. It is used where misalignments and combined loads must be absorbed, with low friction and reduced maintenance. MR Accesorios Industriales sells this line as part of its SKF bearing offering, with technical advice to choose the correct size and sealing for each application.
The series designation is read in parts: GE indicates a radial spherical plain bearing, the number that follows is the bore diameter in millimeters, and the suffixes provide information about the design and sealing. In GE 120 TXA-2LS, 120 corresponds to the bore diameter; TXA indicates a synthetic material cage and surface treatment; 2LS indicates double contact sealing. Knowing these codes helps you order the exact replacement and compare alternatives within the same series.
These spherical plain bearings are used in equipment with oscillating or tilting movements: hydraulic cylinders, vehicle steering, suspension systems, road machinery, cranes, presses and handling equipment. In Argentine industry they appear in maintenance of agricultural machinery, transport, mining and process plants. Their ability to withstand combined radial and axial loads makes them useful at articulation points that require alignment and wear resistance.
To select correctly, consider the load, the direction of movement, the oscillation speed and the environmental conditions. The 2LS sealing protects against dust and moisture, which is convenient in dirty or humid environments. Internal clearance and lubrication must follow the manufacturer's instructions; lifetime-sealed spherical plain bearings are not relubricated. Alignment during mounting is key to avoid lateral stresses and extend the service life of the component.
SKF radial spherical plain bearings can be interchanged with equivalent products from other brands, but dimensions, load capacity, sealing type and tolerances must be verified. It is not enough for the bore diameter to match: the width, the outside diameter and the cage design also matter. For replacements, it is advisable to compare the complete designation and consult technical catalogs. MR Accesorios Industriales can guide you on the equivalence without compromising equipment performance.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What does the 2LS suffix mean on an SKF spherical plain bearing?
- The 2LS suffix indicates that the spherical plain bearing has double contact sealing, one on each side. This protects the sliding area against dust, dirt and moisture, and helps retain the lubricant. It is a common configuration in applications exposed to contaminated environments.
- How do I choose between a sealed and an open spherical plain bearing?
- The choice depends on the environment and the planned maintenance. Sealed ones are for dirty or humid environments and usually come lubricated for life. Open ones allow periodic relubrication and are used in clean or high-demand applications. Consult MR to define the best option.
- Can I replace an SKF spherical plain bearing with another brand?
- Yes, as long as dimensions, load capacity, sealing type and tolerances are verified. It is not enough for the bore diameter to match; the complete designation and the service conditions must be compared. MR Accesorios Industriales can help you find the right equivalence.
