For shafts that must pivot and self-align rather than spin continuously, SKF builds the GE TXG3A-2LS line of radial spherical plain bearings. MR Industrial Accessories LLC supplies this series to maintenance and purchasing teams across the United States and Latin America, and can help you confirm the right bore and sealing before you order.

Reading the designation is the fastest way to order correctly. GE marks a general-purpose radial spherical plain bearing. The figure right after it is the bore in millimeters, so GE 70 TXG3A-2LS and GE 100 TXG3A-2LS differ only in that bore. TXG3A describes how the inner ring is made and treated, which raises its resistance to wear and corrosion. The -2LS block means two lip seals, one per side, holding lubricant in and keeping contaminants out.

Typical duty for these bearings is slow oscillation with reversing or combined loads: earthmoving and road equipment, presses, hydraulic cylinders, steering and suspension linkages, and transmission mechanisms in plant machinery. Mining, agricultural, material handling and metalworking operations rely on them as well. Because the inner ring can tilt inside the outer ring, small misalignments between housing and shaft are absorbed instead of being forced into the surrounding structure.

Selection comes down to three questions: what the load looks like (radial, axial or a mix), how far the joint oscillates, and what the surroundings contain. Where dust, moisture or regular washdowns are present, the -2LS sealing is the sensible choice. Fitting matters just as much as the code: work clean, lubricate properly and set the housing correctly, since a bearing that is forced or mis-set loses clearance and, with it, service life. On vibrating equipment, also check how rigid the support is and how the shaft is fastened.

Interchange is possible with other brands that carry the same dimensional designation and sealing arrangement, but never assume it. Compare bore, width, load rating and the fastening or thread details first. If you send the code you already use, or a photo plus the housing dimensions, our team can suggest an equivalent and help you confirm it fits the application.
