The SKF GE TXA-2LS is a radial spherical plain bearing designed to accommodate oscillating and tilting movements while compensating for misalignment between shaft and housing. Its sliding contact surfaces and double sealing make it a practical choice for pivot points that see combined loads and exposure to contaminants. MR Industrial Accessories supplies this series and can help you confirm the correct size and sealing configuration for your equipment.
The part number follows a logical structure. GE identifies a radial spherical plain bearing. The number that follows is the bore diameter in millimeters; in GE 120 TXA-2LS, the bore is 120 mm. TXA denotes a synthetic cage with a surface treatment, and 2LS means the bearing has two contact seals, one on each side. Reading these codes correctly helps you order the exact replacement and compare options within the same series.
Typical applications include hydraulic cylinder rod ends, steering linkages, suspension joints, construction and road machinery, cranes, presses, and material handling equipment. These bearings suit articulation points where the shaft and housing may not stay perfectly aligned during operation. Their ability to carry combined radial and axial loads makes them useful in agricultural, mining, and process plant maintenance.
Selection depends on load magnitude and direction, oscillation frequency, and the operating environment. The 2LS seals block dust and moisture, which is beneficial in dirty or humid conditions. Bearings supplied with lifetime lubrication are not relubricated, so follow the manufacturer's instructions for internal clearance and any lubrication requirements. Proper alignment during mounting avoids side loads and helps the bearing reach its expected service life.
SKF spherical plain bearings can often be replaced with equivalents from other manufacturers, but you must check dimensions, load ratings, sealing arrangement, and tolerances. A matching bore diameter alone is not sufficient; the width, outside diameter, and cage design also matter. For replacements, compare the full designation and refer to technical catalogs. MR Industrial Accessories can advise on interchangeability without compromising equipment performance.

Frequently asked questions
- What does the 2LS suffix indicate on an SKF spherical plain bearing?
- The 2LS suffix means the bearing has double contact seals, one on each side. This design protects the sliding surfaces from dust, dirt, and moisture, and helps retain lubricant. It is commonly used in contaminated environments.
- How do I decide between a sealed and an open spherical plain bearing?
- Consider the operating environment and your maintenance schedule. Sealed bearings are suited to dirty or humid conditions and often come lubricated for life. Open bearings allow periodic relubrication and are used in clean or high-demand applications. Contact MR for guidance.
- Can I use another brand to replace an SKF spherical plain bearing?
- Yes, provided you verify dimensions, load capacity, sealing type, and tolerances. Matching only the bore diameter is not enough; compare the full designation and service conditions. MR Industrial Accessories can help you find a suitable equivalent.
