SKF SA ES rod end bearings are radial spherical plain bearings with a male thread, designed to withstand radial loads and transmit oscillating or aligning motion. They are used in mechanisms that require angular freedom, such as hydraulic cylinders, steering systems and suspension systems. MR Accesorios Industriales carries this SKF line, an official brand that MR sells, with technical advice to choose the right size for your application.

The SA ES designation reads as follows: SA indicates a radial rod end bearing with a male threaded shank; ES indicates that it incorporates a hardened steel insert and a cage made of anti-friction material, with pre-applied lubrication. Examples SA 15 ES, SA 17 ES, SA 20 ES, SA 25 ES and SA 30 ES show the nominal bore diameter in millimeters (15, 17, 20, 25 and 30). The ES suffix does not vary; it always indicates the same type of internal construction.

In Argentine industry, these rod end bearings appear in hydraulic and pneumatic cylinders, steering arms, agricultural machinery suspension, earthmoving equipment and transmission systems with oscillating shafts. They are also found in automatic doors, cranes and lifting equipment. Their ability to self-align prevents bending stresses on the shanks and simplifies assembly when misalignments are unavoidable.

To select an SA ES, take into account the bore diameter, the thread type (male or female) and the radial load it will withstand. The rod end bearing's sealing protects against dust and moisture; if the environment is aggressive, consider adding seals or boots. Lubrication is permanent in most cases, but demanding applications may require re-greasing. Alignment between the shank and the support must respect the permissible oscillation angle to avoid damaging the insert.

SKF SA ES rod end bearings are interchangeable with those of other brands that follow the same dimensional designation, such as equivalent series from European or Asian manufacturers. Always verify the bore diameter, thread pitch and inner ring width before replacing. At MR Accesorios Industriales we can guide you on compatibility and alternatives for your equipment.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the ES suffix mean in SA rod end bearings?
The ES suffix indicates that the rod end bearing has a hardened steel insert and a cage made of anti-friction material, with built-in lubrication. It is a standard construction for radial loads and oscillating motion. It does not change the external dimensions, only the type of internal contact.
How do I choose between an SA and an SI?
The SA has a male threaded shank and the SI has a female thread. The choice depends on the mounting space and the type of fastening you need. Both share the same bore diameter and similar load capacity. Ask us if you have doubts.
Can they be replaced with rod end bearings from another brand?
Yes, if the bore diameter, thread pitch and inner ring width match. Dimensional designations are usually standard across manufacturers. Always verify the actual dimensions of your equipment before replacing. At MR we help you compare.
