SKF GAC F series radial rod ends are steel spherical plain bearings that allow oscillating and alignment movements between shafts. They are used when radial load and a certain tilt must be transmitted, without the clearance of a rigid bearing. MR Accesorios Industriales supplies this line as an official brand, with technical advice to choose the correct size and sealing for your application.

The GAC … F designation reads as follows: GAC identifies the series of steel radial rod ends with a sliding surface; the number that follows indicates the bore diameter, in millimeters; the final F indicates a design variant within the series, normally linked to the type of cage or to the treatment of the sliding surfaces. In the examples, GAC 25 F and GAC 30 F are the small sizes, while GAC 60 F and GAC 70 F cover the larger diameters. To order the correct code, provide the complete designation as it appears on the drawing or on the old part.

These rod ends appear in equipment where there is misalignment or oscillating movement: hydraulic and pneumatic cylinders, agricultural machinery steering, chassis suspension, chain tensioners, robotic arm joints and steering mechanisms in forklifts. In Argentina they are seen in combine harvesters, seeders, trailers, cranes and earthmoving equipment. Also in presses, conveyors and machine tools where an articulation point is needed to absorb small mounting errors.

To select a GAC F rod end, first look at the bore diameter and the inner ring width, which define the load capacity. Then check the type of sealing: if the environment has dust, water or chips, a version with a seal should be chosen. Lubrication is key: these rod ends work with grease and need a lubrication channel or a relubrication interval in line with use. During mounting, align the shafts before tightening and avoid striking the rod end so as not to deform the sliding surfaces.

As for equivalents, each manufacturer has its own nomenclature for radial rod ends. An SKF GAC F can be cross-referenced with series from other brands that share diameter and width, but there is no universal table: measurements and load capacity must be compared. If you have the old code or the sample, send it and from MR Accesorios Industriales we verify interchangeability before quoting. Do not replace with a rod end from another series just because the bore matches: the width and the type of cage also matter.

If you need a GAC F rod end to repair a machine or build new equipment, write to us on WhatsApp with the exact code, the quantity and a photo if you have one. We will reply with the quote and, if necessary, help you confirm that the designation is the correct one for your application.
