SKF GE TXGR series spherical plain bearings are radial spherical plain bearings with a PTFE sliding surface, designed to withstand radial loads and oscillating movements. They are used in hydraulic cylinders, steering systems and mechanisms where angular alignment is required. MR Accesorios Industriales carries this line as an official brand, backed by over 80 years in the industrial industry.
The designation GE … TXGR is read as follows: GE indicates it is a radial spherical plain bearing; the number that follows, as in GE 12 TXGR, GE 15 TXGR or GE 17 TXGR, corresponds to the bore diameter in millimeters. The suffix TXGR indicates a PTFE cage reinforced with fiberglass and a PTFE sliding surface, which reduces maintenance and improves corrosion resistance. This series is suitable for oscillating movements and angular misalignment.
These spherical plain bearings are used in industries such as metallurgy, automotive, agriculture and construction. In Argentina, they are common in hydraulic cylinders of road machinery, in steering systems of heavy vehicles, in suspension arms and in earthmoving equipment. They also appear in presses, cranes and lifting mechanisms where radial loads need to be absorbed with a certain misalignment capability.
To select a GE TXGR spherical plain bearing, take into account the radial load it will withstand, the oscillation angle and the environmental conditions. Sealing is key: if there is dust or moisture, it is advisable to choose versions with additional seals. The PTFE surface lubrication is permanent, but verify that mounting does not damage the cage. Alignment between shaft and housing must be careful to avoid lateral stresses.
SKF GE TXGR spherical plain bearings can be interchanged with equivalent products from other brands that follow the same dimensional designation, such as the GE..TXGR series from European or Asian manufacturers. However, tolerances and surface treatment may vary. Always verify the complete code and critical dimensions before replacing a spherical plain bearing. MR Accesorios Industriales helps you find the right equivalent.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What does the suffix TXGR mean in an SKF spherical plain bearing?
- TXGR indicates that the spherical plain bearing has a PTFE cage reinforced with fiberglass and a PTFE sliding surface. This gives it self-lubricating properties and greater corrosion resistance, ideal for oscillating movements without frequent maintenance.
- How do I choose between a GE 12 TXGR and a GE 15 TXGR spherical plain bearing?
- The choice depends on the shaft diameter and the radial load. The number in the designation indicates the bore diameter in millimeters. Verify the dimensions of your mounting and consult the load capacities in SKF tables to ensure the correct selection.
- Do SKF GE TXGR spherical plain bearings need lubrication?
- They do not require additional lubrication because they have a self-lubricating PTFE sliding surface. However, in highly contaminated environments it is recommended to protect them with seals to extend their service life.
