The SKF radial spherical plain bearing of the GXD SA series is a sliding spherical bearing designed to support radial loads and oscillating movements. It is used in mechanisms where the shaft must tilt or rotate slowly, such as hydraulic cylinders, steering and suspension. MR Accesorios Industriales sells this line as an official brand, with technical advice to choose the correct size and sealing according to your application.
The GXD SA series designation is read as follows: the letters GXD identify a radial spherical plain bearing from the SKF family, and the SA suffix indicates it has a threaded hole for mounting. The number in the middle, as in the example GXD 30 SA, corresponds to the bore diameter in millimeters. For this series, the complete part number is made up of those three parts: letters, number and suffix. Send me the part number exactly as it appears on your drawing or sample and we will verify it together.
These spherical plain bearings are used in industries in Argentina such as metalworking, automotive, agricultural machinery and hydraulic equipment. They are present in steering cylinders, suspension arms, pneumatic actuators and lifting mechanisms. They are also found in road machinery and material handling equipment, where articulation points are needed to absorb misalignments and allow oscillations without frequent maintenance.
To select a GXD SA spherical plain bearing, take into account the radial load it will support, the oscillation angle and the environmental conditions. If there is dust or moisture, a sealed version is recommended; if the movement is constant, check the lubrication. Mounting must ensure that the shaft and housing are aligned, and that the SA thread is properly tightened. Adequate lubrication extends service life and reduces wear.
Regarding equivalents, radial spherical plain bearings are interchangeable between manufacturers if dimensions, thread type and load capacity match. It is not enough for the part number to be similar: the technical data sheet must be compared. There are alternatives from other brands on the market, but interchangeability depends on each case. If you need to replace a spherical plain bearing, send us the dimensions and the application to evaluate the correct option.
If you already have the part number of the spherical plain bearing you need, write to us on WhatsApp and we will send you a quote. At MR Accesorios Industriales we help you identify the series, suffix and version that best suits your equipment. With more than 80 years in the industry, we know the typical applications and can advise you so that the part works without problems.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What does the SA suffix mean on a GXD spherical plain bearing?
- The SA suffix indicates that the spherical plain bearing has a female threaded hole for mounting. It is a common configuration in applications where the spherical plain bearing must be fixed to a threaded stem or bolt. Always verify the thread type and direction before installing.
- How do I know if a GXD SA spherical plain bearing is the one my machine needs?
- Compare the bore diameter, thread type and load capacity with the original part. If you have the complete part number, send it via WhatsApp and we will verify it. You can also send us a photo or the housing dimensions for better advice.
- Do SKF GXD SA spherical plain bearings require maintenance?
- It depends on the application and sealing. In general, periodic lubrication helps extend service life, especially if there is frequent oscillating movement. If the environment has dust or moisture, choose a sealed version and follow the manufacturer's recommendations for the lubrication interval.
