Frequently Asked Questions

1. How does the 2RS sealing system in this bearing compare to open or single-sealed bearings for transmission applications?

The 2RS sealing system offers a significant advantage in a transmission environment. While open bearings are susceptible to contamination from transmission fluid and wear debris, and single-sealed bearings offer only partial protection, the double lip seal of the GEG...(E)ES-2RS provides a complete barrier. This prevents contaminants from entering the raceway, which is a leading cause of premature transmission bearing failure. For a detailed comparison of bearing types and their suitability for your specific application, our technical support team can provide a complimentary consultation based on your operational data.

2. What specific issues can this GEG...(E)ES-2RS bearing solve that a standard ball bearing might not?

In automatic transmissions, components are subject to significant misalignment, which can be caused by thermal expansion, housing distortion, or shock loads. A standard ball bearing, with its rigid structure, cannot accommodate this misalignment, leading to increased stress on the raceways and potential catastrophic failure. The spherical plain design of the GEG...(E)ES-2RS, however, allows for angular misalignment, ensuring that the bearing can operate smoothly and reliably under these conditions. This makes it a superior choice for addressing misalignment issues in transmissions and a more reliable solution for demanding applications.
