Long Design LO

Extended housing length accommodates the GE..LO long spherical plain insert — significantly higher moment load capacity than standard GIHR for the same bore.

Locking Slot Nut

Slot nut and locking screw provide positive outer ring retention under high load and vibration.

GE..LO Long Insert

Extended-length spherical plain bearing for maximum load distribution along the housing bore.

Grease Nipple

Lubrication hole and nipple for in-situ insert re-lubrication.

14 Bore Sizes

12 mm to 125 mm — widest bore range in the GBC locking nut housing programme.

Insert Replaceable

Locking nut allows insert replacement without housing replacement — lower lifecycle cost.

Long Steel Housing

Extended body. Slot nut bore and locking screw. Machined structural steel.

GE..LO Long Insert

Extended contact length for higher moment load capacity.

Locking Slot Nut

Positive outer ring retention in extended housing bore.

Heavy Crane and Hoist

Long-design pivot housings for crane hook block connections and hoist drum end pivot frames.

Offshore Riser Systems

Extended-length housings for riser tensioner pivot connections and subsea equipment handling frames.

Heavy Press Frames

Long bearing span pivot housings for eccentric drive and toggle press pivots under high moment loads.

Steel Mill Rolling Stands

Long-design housing for mill roll chock pivot connections and side guide arm pivots.

Ship Propulsion Equipment

Long pivot housing for stabiliser fin actuator connections and azimuth thruster support pivots.

Heavy-Duty Automation

Long bearing span rod end housings for large industrial robot base pivots and heavy transfer mechanism arms.

🔎 Insert Seating

GE..LO insert must be fully seated to housing shoulder before tightening locking nut.

🔧 Locking Nut Torque

Tighten slot nut with hook spanner to specified torque. Engage locking screw fully.

📈 Alignment

Long bearing span requires careful shaft alignment — misalignment loads are amplified by the longer moment arm.

⚙ Lubrication Before Use

Apply NLGI-2 EP grease through nipple before first use.

🌡 Temperature

-30 to +110 C with mineral EP grease and standard GE..LO insert.

✅ Insert Replacement

Remove locking nut and press out worn GE..LO insert. Re-install new insert.
