SKF rod ends and spherical bearings of the SA...C series are transmission components that allow oscillating movement and misalignment between shafts. They are used in steering systems, suspension, actuators and mechanisms where freedom of movement under load is required. MR Accesorios Industriales carries this SKF line, a brand that MR distributes.

The designation SA … C is read as follows: SA indicates a rod end with a male threaded shank, the number that follows is the nominal bore diameter in millimeters (for example, SA 6 C for 6 mm, SA 12 C for 12 mm), and the suffix C indicates a construction variant within the series, generally linked to the type of sealing or the cage material. Examples in the series range from SA 6 C to SA 25 C, covering a range of metric sizes common in industrial and automotive applications.

These rod ends are used in industries such as automotive, agricultural machinery, metalworking and automation. They appear in steering linkages, hydraulic and pneumatic cylinders, suspension systems, door and gate mechanisms, and at any point where angular misalignment must be absorbed during movement. In Argentina, they are common in road equipment, combine harvesters and production lines that require robust articulations with simple maintenance.

To select correctly, take into account the bore diameter, the thread type and the load the rod end will bear. Sealing is key: versions with a seal protect against dust and moisture, extending service life. Lubrication must be adequate and periodic if the articulation is not maintenance-free. During assembly, verify alignment and avoid bending stresses that do not correspond to the intended oscillating movement.

SKF SA...C rod ends can be interchanged with equivalent products from other brands that follow the same dimensional designation, although it is always advisable to verify tolerances, thread and type of sealing before replacing. Not all variants are identical between manufacturers. If you need an equivalent, the best approach is to compare the complete designation and the service conditions. MR Accesorios Industriales can guide you in that technical comparison.

If you already have the part number of the rod end you need, send it via WhatsApp to MR Accesorios Industriales and we will quote it. We can also advise you if you are unsure between a sealed and an open variant, or if you need help identifying the correct designation for your application. At MR we are here to give you a hand with the selection.
