SKF GE TXGR series spherical plain bearings are radial bearings with a PTFE sliding surface, built to handle radial loads and oscillating motion. They are commonly found in hydraulic cylinders, steering systems and mechanisms that need angular alignment. MR Industrial Accessories supplies this line to customers across the United States and Latin America.
The code GE ... TXGR breaks down as follows: GE identifies a radial spherical plain bearing. The number after GE, such as in GE 12 TXGR, GE 15 TXGR or GE 17 TXGR, gives the bore diameter in millimeters. The TXGR suffix points to a fiberglass-reinforced PTFE cage and a PTFE sliding surface, which lowers maintenance needs and improves corrosion resistance. This series works well for oscillating movements and angular misalignment.
Typical applications include metallurgy, automotive, agriculture and construction. Hydraulic cylinders on road machinery, steering systems on heavy vehicles, suspension arms and earthmoving equipment are common places to find them. They also appear in presses, cranes and lifting mechanisms where radial loads must be absorbed with some misalignment capability.
When selecting a GE TXGR bearing, consider the radial load, the oscillation angle and the operating environment. Sealing matters: in dusty or damp conditions, versions with additional seals are a better choice. The PTFE surface provides permanent lubrication, but make sure mounting does not damage the cage. Careful alignment between shaft and housing helps avoid lateral stresses.
SKF GE TXGR bearings can be interchanged with equivalent products from other brands that use the same dimensional designation, such as the GE..TXGR series from European or Asian manufacturers. Tolerances and surface treatment may differ, so always verify the complete code and critical dimensions before replacing a bearing. MR Industrial Accessories can help you find the right equivalent.

Frequently asked questions
- What does the TXGR suffix mean on an SKF spherical plain bearing?
- TXGR indicates a PTFE cage reinforced with fiberglass and a PTFE sliding surface. This provides self-lubricating properties and greater corrosion resistance, making it suitable for oscillating movements with minimal maintenance.
- How do I choose between a GE 12 TXGR and a GE 15 TXGR spherical plain bearing?
- The number in the designation indicates the bore diameter in millimeters. Selection depends on your shaft diameter and radial load. Check your mounting dimensions and consult SKF load capacity tables to confirm the correct size.
- Do SKF GE TXGR spherical plain bearings require lubrication?
- They do not need additional lubrication because of the self-lubricating PTFE sliding surface. In highly contaminated environments, protecting them with seals is recommended to extend service life.
