SKF SAL C series rod ends are spherical joints with threaded shank that allow oscillating motion and angular misalignment in mechanisms. They are used to transmit radial and axial loads in applications requiring rotational freedom. MR Accesorios Industriales carries this line as part of its range of bearings and transmission components.

The designation SAL … C is interpreted as follows: SAL indicates a rod end with male threaded shank, for general use; the number that follows is the nominal bore diameter, expressed in millimeters (for example, SAL 6 C has a 6 mm bore). The suffix C indicates a version with steel cage and pre-lubrication, suitable for moderate temperatures. The examples in the series cover from SAL 6 C to SAL 25 C, with standardized dimensions. For each size, check the thread and width dimensions in the catalog.

These rod ends are used in industries such as automotive, metalworking, agricultural and construction. They appear in steering linkages, suspension systems, hydraulic cylinders, sliding doors, packaging machines and earthmoving equipment. In Argentina, they are common in agricultural implements and in production lines requiring articulation points resistant to wear and weather. Their design with threaded shank facilitates mounting on plates or supports with female thread.

To select a SAL C rod end, consider the radial and axial load it must withstand, the required misalignment angle and the environmental conditions. Sealing is essential: if there is dust or moisture, opt for versions with additional seals. Lubrication must be adequate and periodic; many applications allow greasing through a channel in the shank. During assembly, ensure alignment of the shafts and avoid excessive bending stresses. The thread must be properly tightened and, if necessary, use a lock nut.

SKF SAL C series rod ends are interchangeable with equivalent products from other brands that follow the same dimensional standard. When looking for a replacement, compare the bore diameter, thread type (male or female), pitch and load capacity. Not all rod ends with the same external size withstand the same loads; always verify the manufacturer's specifications. At MR Accesorios Industriales we can guide you on equivalence with other lines, without compromising the performance of the assembly.
