💡 When should you use open, maintenance-free spherical plain bearings like the GE8C?
Open PTFE-lined bearings provide self-lubrication and smooth rotation without grease but require protection from contaminants. They're ideal in clean environments where frequent maintenance isn't feasible, such as lab automation, aerospace linkages, and precision equipment.
Small, smooth, and self-sufficient - add the GE8C to your design for reliable low-friction motion in tight spaces!
