🆕 Series Overview

The SA...ES series is the male-thread counterpart to SI...ES — a rod end bearing with an external thread and a GE..E(S) or GE..ES 2RS spherical plain bearing insert. The external thread connects directly to female-threaded clevises and actuator housings.

Available in 16 bore sizes from 6 mm to 80 mm. 2RS sealed insert available for d >= 15 mm. Sizes marked with asterisk have no lubrication hole. Left-hand thread suffix L (e.g., GAR 30 OO).

🔧 Installation & Maintenance

🔎 Initial Lubrication

Apply NLGI-2 EP grease before commissioning.

🔧 Re-lubrication

200–500 hours. More frequently in contaminated environments.

📈 2RS for Outdoors

Specify sealed insert for outdoor or wet environments.

⚙ Thread Lock

Apply under high vibration.

🌡 Temperature

-30 to +110 C standard.

✅ Insert Replacement

May be replaceable — contact GBC for insert-only supply.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

▶ How often should the bearing be re-lubricated?

Re-lubricate every 200 to 500 hours of operation depending on load, oscillation frequency, and contamination level. In wet or contaminated environments, increase frequency. Purge with NLGI-2 EP grease through the lubrication fitting until fresh grease appears at the bearing face.

▶ What grease type is recommended?

NLGI-2 lithium-complex EP grease for general industrial use. For low temperature below -20 degrees C, use low-temperature synthetic EP grease. For food-grade applications, use NSF H1 approved grease. Avoid mixing different grease types — purge completely before refilling with a different grease.

▶ Can the bearing be re-lubricated without disassembly?

Yes, provided a grease fitting or lubrication hole is accessible on the housing or rod body. Apply grease at low pressure until it exits at the bearing face or seal edge. Avoid high injection pressure that could displace lip seals.

▶ How do I order left-hand thread?

Add suffix L to the part number. Right-hand thread is standard and requires no suffix. Stainless steel variants add suffix S. Contact us to confirm availability for your specific size.

▶ What is the maximum misalignment angle?

The misalignment angle alpha (a) is listed in the specification table for each size. Do not exceed this angle in sustained operation. Edge loading caused by overangle rapidly accelerates wear at the spherical contact surface.
