SKF GE 160 TXG3A-2RS is a spherical plain bearing reference, within Bearings. Request a quote for GE 160 TXG3A-2RS 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 TXG3A-2RS series is a spherical sliding bearing designed to support combined radial and axial loads, with oscillating movements and misalignments. Its design with double sealing and TXG3A surface treatment makes it suitable for demanding environments. MR Accesorios Industriales supplies this line as part of its SKF bearing offering, with more than 80 years of experience in the Argentine industrial market.

The designation GE 160 TXG3A-2RS breaks down as follows: GE indicates radial spherical plain bearing; 160 is the nominal bore diameter in millimeters; TXG3A refers to the surface treatment and material of the raceways, which improves wear and corrosion resistance; -2RS indicates double elastomer sealing. This series covers a range of sizes and variants depending on the application. To correctly interpret each code, it is essential to refer to the manufacturer's tables and consult MR for equivalents.

These spherical plain bearings are used in industries such as automotive, metallurgical, agricultural and earthmoving. In Argentina, they appear in hydraulic cylinders, steering systems, suspensions, excavator arms, presses and lifting equipment. Their ability to oscillate and align misalignments makes them ideal for articulated joints where continuous rotation is not required. MR Accesorios Industriales supplies them to workshops, factories and industrial maintenance throughout the country.

To select the correct spherical plain bearing, consider radial and axial load, oscillation angle, speed and environmental conditions. The -2RS sealing protects against dust and moisture, but if there is exposure to chemicals or extreme temperatures, evaluate other options. Mounting requires cleanliness, precise alignment and adequate lubrication; in sealed spherical plain bearings, lubrication is for life. Check radial clearance and ring tightening torque to avoid deformation.

SKF spherical plain bearings of the GE series can be interchanged with equivalent products from other brands, provided dimensions, load capacity and sealing type match. Not all brands offer the same surface treatment, so it is essential to compare performance. At MR Accesorios Industriales we can advise you on available alternatives and compatibilities, without compromising equipment performance.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the suffix TXG3A mean in the designation GE 160 TXG3A-2RS?
TXG3A indicates a surface treatment and material of the raceways that improves wear and corrosion resistance. It is a series feature that extends service life in demanding environments. For precise details, consult the manufacturer's data sheet or contact MR.
Does this radial spherical plain bearing come with sealing?
Yes, the suffix -2RS indicates double elastomer sealing, which protects against dust, moisture and contaminants. This makes it suitable for applications in dirty environments or with moderate exposure to external agents. If the environment is very aggressive, evaluate other sealing options.
Can I replace a spherical plain bearing from another brand with this SKF one?
In general, yes, provided dimensions, load capacity and sealing type match. It is important to verify technical specifications and surface treatment, as they may vary between manufacturers. Consult us with the original code and we will advise you on interchangeability.
