FAQ

What does the 'LO' suffix in GE32-LO signify?
The 'LO' suffix typically designates a specific series from ELGES/Schaeffler, indicating a maintenance-free design with a steel-on-PTFE composite sliding contact surface.

Can this bearing be lubricated?
No, the GE32-LO is a maintenance-free bearing. Its PTFE composite liner provides self-lubricating properties. Adding external grease can attract contaminants and is not necessary or recommended.

What is the main advantage of a spherical plain bearing over a standard ball bearing?
Its primary advantage is the ability to accommodate significant static and dynamic misalignment between the shaft and housing, which is impossible for most rigid ball or roller bearings.
