GE280AW bearings ( 280 mm x 460 mm x 110 mm) have the advantages of Specifically designed to withstand high-purity axial (thrust) loads and possessing self-aligning capability to compensate for installation angular deviations, and are therefore widely used in the Commonly used in the lug connections of hydraulic cylinder piston rods, slewing supports in heavy-duty lifting equipment, and thrust joints in bridge bearings.

The GE280AW Axial spherical plain bearings consist of a shaft ring (inner ring) with a spherical convex surface, a seat ring (outer ring) with a spherical concave surface, and rolling elements or sliding pads. The sliding surface is spherical, resulting in a compact overall structure. The shaft ring and seat ring can be tilted relative to each other to achieve angular compensation.
Axial spherical plain bearings are specifically designed to withstand high-purity axial (thrust) loads, possess self-aligning capabilities to compensate for installation eccentricity and shaft deflection; they have a low coefficient of friction, are impact-resistant, insensitive to edge loads, and have a long service life.
