SKF GEH ES-2RS radial rod ends are detachable spherical plain bearings that allow oscillating movements and misalignment between shafts. They are used in systems requiring freedom of rotation and resistance to combined radial and axial loads. Their double-seal design makes them suitable for dusty or humid environments. MR Accesorios Industriales carries this line as a brand, with technical advice to select the correct size for your application.
The GEH ES-2RS designation reads as follows: GEH indicates a radial rod end from the metric dimension series with a spherical plain bearing; ES indicates that it has a lubrication groove and holes in the inner ring and that it is of the detachable type; 2RS means double elastomer seal on both sides. Examples in the series, such as GEH 20 ES-2RS, GEH 25 ES-2RS or GEH 40 ES-2RS, show that the central number corresponds to the bore diameter in millimeters. This nomenclature lets you quickly identify the main features of each size.
These rod ends are used in industries such as metallurgy, food processing, agriculture and mining, in applications with oscillating movements and misalignment: hydraulic cylinders, steering arms, suspension systems, packaging machines, earthmoving equipment and rotating shaft mountings. In Argentina, they are common in the oilseed industry, in milling plants and in road equipment. Their ability to withstand combined radial and axial loads makes them versatile for articulation points that require robustness and durability.
To select a GEH ES-2RS rod end, take into account the bore diameter, the type of load (radial, axial or combined), the oscillation speed and the environmental conditions. The 2RS double seal protects against contaminants and retains lubricant, so it is recommended in dirty or humid environments. During mounting, ensure correct alignment and avoid striking the spherical plain bearing. Periodic lubrication through the inner ring channels extends service life. If the rod end operates with permanent misalignment, check that the angle does not exceed the permitted value.
SKF GEH ES-2RS series rod ends are interchangeable with equivalent products from other brands that follow the same standardized designation. When replacing a rod end, compare the main dimensions (bore diameter, width, outer diameter) and the type of seal. Although codes may vary between manufacturers, ISO 12240-1 establishes the dimensions for radial rod ends, which facilitates substitution. Always verify that the new part meets the load and speed requirements of your equipment.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What does the 2RS suffix mean on a GEH rod end?
- The 2RS suffix indicates that the rod end has a double elastomer seal on both sides. This protects the spherical plain bearing against the entry of dust, water and other contaminants, and helps retain lubricant. It is ideal for applications in dirty or humid environments where greater durability is required.
- How do I choose the correct size of a GEH ES-2RS rod end?
- The size is chosen according to the bore diameter you need, which is the number that appears in the code (for example, GEH 20 ES-2RS has a 20 mm bore). Also consider the type of load, the oscillation speed and the environmental conditions. If you have doubts, consult us with your shaft dimensions.
- Are SKF GEH ES-2RS rod ends interchangeable with other brands?
- Yes, as long as the main dimensions match and the design is equivalent. ISO 12240-1 establishes the dimensions for radial rod ends, which facilitates interchangeability between manufacturers. When replacing, verify bore diameter, width and outer diameter, and that the seal is suitable for your application.
