SKF radial spherical plain bearings of the GE TXA-2RS series are spherical sliding joints that allow oscillating and alignment movements between shafts. They are used in applications where misalignments and radial loads must be absorbed, with the advantage of a double seal that protects the contact surface. MR Accesorios Industriales carries this line as part of its range of bearings and rod ends.
The designation GE … TXA-2RS is read as follows: GE indicates a radial spherical plain bearing; the number that follows is the bore diameter in millimeters (for example, GE 140 TXA-2RS has a 140 mm bore diameter). The suffix TXA identifies the design and material of the raceways, and 2RS indicates double elastomer seal. Examples in the series range from GE 140 TXA-2RS to GE 300 TXA-2RS, covering a range of sizes for different shaft sizes.
These rod ends are used in equipment with oscillating movements or the need to compensate for misalignments: hydraulic cylinders, vehicle steering, agricultural machinery, cranes, presses and transmission systems. In Argentine industry they appear in forklifts, road equipment, mills and machine tools. Their ability to withstand radial loads and some thrust makes them versatile in assemblies with shafts that are not perfectly aligned.
To select a GE TXA-2RS rod end, take into account the shaft diameter, the type of load (radial, axial or combined) and the environmental conditions. The 2RS seal requires clean contact surfaces and adequate lubrication; in dusty or humid environments, verify that the seal is not damaged during assembly. Initial alignment and correct tightening torque on the fixing are key to avoiding premature wear. If the rod end operates with wide oscillations, consider periodic lubrication.
SKF GE TXA-2RS series rod ends can be interchanged with equivalent products from other brands that follow the same standardized designation, but always verify dimensions and load capacity. Not all brands maintain the same tolerances or materials. At MR Accesorios Industriales we can advise you on compatibility without compromising performance. Interchangeability is not automatic: review the complete part number and service conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What does the 2RS suffix mean on an SKF GE TXA rod end?
- It indicates double elastomer seal, one on each side of the rod end. This seal protects the sliding surface against dust, dirt and lubricant loss, extending service life in contaminated environments.
- How do I choose the correct size of a GE TXA-2RS rod end?
- The number in the designation corresponds to the bore diameter in millimeters. Measure the shaft diameter where it is mounted and verify the housing dimensions. If you have doubts, consult us with the part number or dimensions.
- Are SKF GE TXA-2RS rod ends interchangeable with other brands?
- They may be compatible with rod ends from other brands that follow the same standardized designation, but always verify dimensions, tolerances and load capacity. Do not assume direct interchangeability without checking the complete part number.
