SKF SAA TXE-2LS series radial spherical plain bearings are spherical rod ends with a PTFE cage and double seal. They are used to transmit radial and axial forces in applications where oscillating motion and misalignment are part of normal operation. Their sealed design makes them suitable for environments with dust, humidity or lack of external lubrication, reducing field maintenance.
The SAA TXE-2LS designation is read as follows: SAA identifies the series of radial spherical plain bearings with internal thread; TXE indicates PTFE cage and surface treatment; 2LS indicates double lip seal. The examples SAA 40 TXE-2LS and SAA 80 TXE-2LS show that the central number is the rod end diameter. That combination of letters and numbers defines the size and the sealing and lubrication characteristics.
In Argentine industry they are found in hydraulic and pneumatic cylinders, road machinery, earthmoving equipment, cranes and steering systems. They also appear in presses, conveyors and agricultural equipment where there is vibration and dust. Being sealed, they tolerate environments with particles without losing the lubricant layer, which extends service life compared to open versions.
To select them, verify that the combined load does not exceed the rod end's capacity and that the required misalignment angle is within the allowable range. The 2LS seal requires clean support surfaces free of burrs. When mounting, align the shaft with the rod end and avoid blows that deform the cage. If the equipment works with centralized lubrication, the sealed rod end still accepts periodic greasing.
SKF rod ends of this series are interchangeable with other brands that follow the same dimensional designation and seal type, although cage and elastomer materials may vary. When replacing, compare diameter, width and thread type. MR Accesorios Industriales sells this line as an official brand and can guide you if the original part number does not match exactly.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What does 2LS mean in the SAA TXE-2LS designation?
- 2LS indicates double lip seal, one on each side of the rod end. This protects the contact area against dust, water and lubricant loss, and is key in applications with contaminated environments or where frequent greasing is not possible.
- How do I choose between a sealed and an open rod end?
- If the equipment works outdoors, with dust or humidity, choose the sealed version such as the SAA TXE-2LS. If the environment is clean and there is frequent lubrication, an open one may be sufficient. The sealed one reduces maintenance and usually lasts longer in severe conditions.
- Are SKF SAA TXE-2LS rod ends interchangeable with other brands?
- Yes, as long as diameter, width and thread type match. Tolerances and materials may vary between manufacturers, so it is advisable to verify the actual measurements before replacing. MR Accesorios Industriales can advise you with the original part number or a sample.
