Crown Mast Spherical Plain Bearing GEZ108ES – BR-416

A GEZ108ES radial spherical plain bearing cataloged by Crown for mast service, with a 1.5 inch bore, a 2.4375 inch outside diameter, and a 1.3125 inch width. A spherical plain bearing has a curved inner-to-outer sliding surface that allows misalignment and angular movement while carrying heavy radial load, which is exactly what a lift mast needs at its pivot points as the mast flexes and articulates under load.

The GEZ108ES is a standard steel-on-steel spherical plain bearing size, so it fits any mast pivot or linkage bored for it. In mast duty it carries high load with slow, oscillating movement rather than continuous rotation, and it wears at the sliding surface over time, developing play that shows up as slop in the mast. Fitting the correct GEZ108ES restores a tight pivot. Match the bore, outside diameter, and width to the bearing being replaced.
