GIR...C GIR...ET 2RS Series — Female Thread Rod End Bearing Maintenance Free Spherical Plain Insert
16 bore sizes · d 6–80 mm · Female thread · GE..C or GE..ET 2RS insert · No re-lubrication
🆕 Series Overview
The GIR...C and GIR...ET 2RS series are maintenance-free rod end bearings with an internal female thread and a PTFE-lined spherical plain bearing insert. No re-lubrication is required. Smaller sizes (GIR 6C to GIR 30C) use the GE..UK PTFE composite insert; larger sizes (GIR 35ET 2RS to GIR 80ET 2RS) use the sealed GE..ET 2RS PTFE fabric insert.
Available in 16 bore sizes from 6 mm to 80 mm. Left-hand thread suffix L. The two-insert-type approach provides both compact dry-running (small bores) and sealed high-load maintenance-free performance (large bores) in a single product family.
⚙ Key Design Features

No Re-lubrication
Maintenance-free across the full 6–80 mm bore range.
Female Thread
Internal thread for connection to male-threaded actuator rods and pins.
16 Bore Sizes
6 mm to 80 mm in one continuous series.
Zinc-Plated Body
Rod body zinc-plated for normal environment corrosion resistance.
