Description

SKF SAL 40 TXE-2LS is a spherical plain bearing reference, within Bearings. Request a quote for SAL 40 TXE-2LS via WhatsApp or email with the quantity you need; we respond promptly with lead time and equivalents.

SKF SAL TXE-2LS series rod ends are radial spherical plain bearings with male threaded shank, designed to support radial and axial loads in applications requiring oscillating movements and misalignment. Their design includes double-lip seals that retain lubricant and protect against contaminants, extending service life in demanding environments. They are used in agricultural machinery, construction equipment, steering and power transmission systems, among other industrial applications.

The designation SAL … TXE-#LS is interpreted as follows: SAL indicates a radial rod end with male threaded shank and steel cage, while TXE indicates that it incorporates double-lip seals and a special surface treatment on the body. The number that follows, for example in SAL 35 TXE-2LS or SAL 40 TXE-2LS, corresponds to the bore diameter of the rod end in millimeters. The suffix -2LS confirms the presence of seals on both sides, which improves lubricant retention and protection against dust and moisture.

These rod ends are used in industries such as agriculture, where they withstand the vibrations and variable loads of plows and seeders; in construction, in hydraulic cylinders and excavator arms; and in the automotive sector, in steering and suspension systems. They also appear in material handling equipment, cranes and conveyors, where oscillating capability and corrosion resistance are critical for continuous performance.

To correctly select a SAL TXE-2LS rod end, take into account the radial and axial load it must support, the operating temperature range and the environmental conditions. The double-lip seal requires adequate lubrication with high-quality grease; verify that the threaded shank matches the housing thread and that alignment is correct to avoid parasitic stresses. During assembly, ensure controlled tightening and periodically check the clearance and the condition of the seals.

Regarding equivalences and interchangeability, SKF SAL TXE-2LS series rod ends can be replaced by products from other manufacturers that follow the same dimensional designation, but it is essential to verify tolerances, thread type and load capacity. Not all products with similar dimensions offer the same performance; therefore, always consult the technical specifications before replacing a rod end. MR Accesorios Industriales supplies this official brand and can advise you on selection.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the TXE suffix mean in an SKF rod end?
TXE indicates that the rod end has a special surface treatment on the body and double-lip seals. This improves corrosion resistance and protection against contaminants, extending service life in hostile environments.
How do you choose the size of a SAL rod end?
The number in the designation, such as 35 or 40, corresponds to the bore diameter in millimeters. You must select the size that matches the bolt or pin of your application and verify the required load capacity.
How often are rod ends with -2LS seals lubricated?
The frequency depends on working conditions. In clean environments and moderate loads, it may be every 500 hours; in severe conditions, every 100 hours or less. Always follow the machine manufacturer's recommendations.
