Introduction
GAC120S is a radial spherical plain bearing made of bearing steel with steel-on-steel sliding contact. It features self-lubrication, high precision, long life, and low noise. Widely used in hydraulic cylinders, construction machinery, automotive shock absorbers, and automation equipment. Origin: China. Trademark: BDL.Key Specifications & Advantages of GAC Series Rod End Bearings
| Description | Core Value |
|---|---|
| Model Range | GAC120S–GAC160S — standardized, interchangeable sizes for global OEMs |
| Material & Construction | High-carbon bearing steel outer/inner rings + whole outer ring design — superior rigidity & misalignment tolerance |
| Lubrication | Self-lubricating (steel-on-steel sliding contact) — zero maintenance, ideal for sealed or hard-to-access systems |
| Load Capacity | Radial spherical plain bearing — handles combined radial loads + ±15° angular misalignment reliably |
| Dimension (e.g., GAC120S) | 120×180×38 mm — compact yet high-load, optimized for hydraulic cylinders & shock absorbers |
| Applications | Engineering hydraulic cylinders, forging machines, construction machinery, automotive shock absorbers, water conservancy equipment |
| Performance | High precision, low noise, extended service life — meets ISO 12240-1 standards |
| Quality Assurance | Manufactured in China under strict BDL quality control; HS Code 8482101000 — compliant with international import regulations |
| Differentiation vs. Generic Brands | Tighter dimensional tolerances, consistent surface hardness (HRC 58–62), and verified load ratings — outperforms budget alternatives in fatigue life |
| FAQ | Q: Are these compatible with SKF mounting dimensions? A: Yes — GAC series follows standard metric rod end interfaces (DIN 647-1 / ISO 12240). Q: Can they replace SKF GE…ES models? A: Direct fit for most GE120ES–GE160ES applications. Q: What’s the max operating temperature? A: Up to 120°C continuous, non-lubricated. |
