General Description: SKF GE 40 ES bearing is a radial spherical plain bearing designed to withstand radial loads, combined radial and axial loads, as well as compensate for misalignments between mechanical components. This bearing requires periodic maintenance and relubrication, due to the presence of lubrication holes and annular grooves present on both rings.

Materials and Construction:

• Sliding surface : Steel on steel, optimized for applications requiring shock resistance and load alternation.
• Inner ring : Made of high quality bearing steel, for strength and durability.
• Outer ring : Also in bearing steel, designed to maintain robustness and resistance to mechanical stress.

Dimensions:

• Hole diameter (d) : 40 mm
• External diameter (D) : 62 mm
• Inner ring width (B) : 28 mm
• Outer ring width (C) : 22 mm
• Tilt angle: 7°
• Net weight : 0.305 kg

Mechanical Characteristics:

• Dynamic load rating : 100 kN
• Basic static load rating : 500 kN
• Internal radial clearance : CN (standard)
• Specific dynamic load factor (K) : 100 N/mm²
• Specific static load factor (K₀) : 500 N/mm²

Maintenance:

• Lubrication : Relubrication required to maintain optimal performance over time.
• Sealing system : Bearing without seals, therefore requires greater attention to lubrication.

Applications and Sectors of Use:

• Heavy machinery : Such as cranes, excavators, industrial presses, where the bearing is subjected to high loads and mechanical misalignments.
• Transmission systems : In industrial automation, where it is essential to maintain alignment despite radial and axial forces.
• Construction Equipment : Used for equipment requiring high load capacity and impact resistance.

Useful Formulas for Performance Evaluation:

• Equivalent dynamic load (P): $$=$$ Where:
  • P : Equivalent dynamic load
  • F_r : Radial load
  • F_a : Axial load
  • X and Y : Load factors dependent on the type of load and the angle of application
