SKF SA..ES-2RS series rod ends are spherical plain bearings with a male thread and double elastomer seal. They are used to transmit oscillating or rotating motion between non-aligned shafts, supporting moderate radial and axial loads. They are ideal for mechanisms requiring freedom of movement and resistance to contamination.
The SA..ES-2RS designation is read as follows: SA indicates a rod end with male thread; the number that follows is the nominal bore diameter in millimeters (for example, SA 30 for 30 mm). ES indicates that the inner ring has a groove and lubrication holes, and 2RS that it incorporates two elastomer seals, one on each side, to retain lubricant and block dust and moisture. Examples in the series include from SA 30 ES-2RS to SA 80 ES-2RS, covering a range of sizes for different applications.
These rod ends are used in sectors such as agricultural machinery, earthmoving equipment, hydraulic systems, conveyors and industrial automation. In Argentina, they are common in seeders, harvesters, trailers and road equipment, where working conditions demand tolerance to misalignment and weather. They also appear in sliding doors, actuators and steering mechanisms.
To select an SA..ES-2RS rod end, consider the bore diameter, the thread type of the shank (male or female) and the load it will support. The 2RS seal is suitable for dusty or humid environments; if the application is clean and requires low friction, you can evaluate unsealed variants. When mounting, verify alignment and avoid forcing the shank; proper lubrication extends service life. The rod end allows misalignment, but should not be used as the main support for heavy loads without correct sizing.
Regarding equivalences, SKF SA..ES-2RS rod ends can be interchanged with those of other brands that follow the same dimensional designation, such as similar series from INA, NSK or NTN. Always verify tolerances and thread type before replacing. MR Accesorios Industriales offers SKF as an official brand, and can advise you on interchangeability with other alternatives available on the market.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What does the 2RS suffix mean in an SKF rod end?
- The 2RS suffix indicates that the rod end has two elastomer seals, one on each side. These seals retain lubricant and prevent the entry of dust, water or particles, extending service life in contaminated environments.
- How do I choose the size of an SA..ES-2RS rod end?
- The number in the designation corresponds to the bore diameter in millimeters. Measure the shaft or pin where it is mounted and select the matching code. Also consider the shank thread and the load to be supported.
- Can I replace an SKF rod end with another brand?
- Yes, as long as the dimensional designation matches. Brands such as INA, NSK or NTN offer equivalent rod ends. Verify tolerances and thread type. At MR we advise you to choose the correct option.
