SKF SAL ES series spherical rod end bearings are radial spherical plain bearings with a male thread that allow oscillating motion and angular misalignment in machines and mechanisms. They are used when load must be transmitted while also allowing rotation or tilting between parts. MR Accesorios Industriales carries this line as an official brand, backed by more than 80 years in the industrial sector.

The SAL ... ES designation reads as follows: SAL identifies a spherical rod end bearing with a male threaded shank; the number that follows, as in SAL 15 ES or SAL 30 ES, indicates the nominal inner bore diameter in millimeters; and the ES suffix indicates a standard execution with hardened steel sliding surfaces. The series examples range from SAL 15 ES to SAL 30 ES, always with the same part number logic.

These rod end bearings appear in hydraulic and pneumatic cylinders, valve controls, steering bars, machinery suspension, material handling equipment, presses, cranes and conveyors. In Argentina they are found in agriculture, the metalworking industry, mining, grain handling and the assembly of mobile structures. Their function is to absorb misalignment and prevent parasitic stresses on the supports.

To choose correctly, verify the bore diameter, the thread type and whether the motion is reciprocating or continuous. Sealing is key: in dusty or humid environments, the rod end bearing should be protected with boots or seals. Lubrication must be compatible with the surface material and renewed according to the service. During assembly, align the shank with the load and avoid impacts that deform the cage or the seat.

SKF rod end bearings in this series can be interchanged with equivalent products from other brands that follow the same dimensional designation, but not all executions have the same load capacity or surface treatment. Before replacing a rod end bearing, compare the complete part number and the working conditions. If you have doubts, send us the part number stamped on the part.

At MR Accesorios Industriales we advise you so you choose the right rod end bearing for your application. Send the part number on WhatsApp, such as SAL 20 ES or SAL 25 ES, and we will send you the quote with the available alternatives. We can also review dimensions and compatibility if you bring us a sample or a photo of the original part.
