SKF GEK16ESA radial spherical plain bearing. Spherical inner ring sliding in a matched spherical outer bore, providing self-alignment and heavy static / dynamic load capacity in slow oscillating movements (hydraulic cylinder rod ends, marine winch link pins, deck-crane pivots). Steel-on-steel (GE-ES), steel-on-PTFE-composite (GE-2RS), stainless-on-stainless (GE-C), and re-lubrication grooves per suffix. ISO 6124 dimensioned.
