SKF rod ends of the SALKAC M series are spherical plain bearings with male thread, designed to withstand radial loads and oscillating movements in machinery. They are used in transmission, steering and mechanisms where misalignment needs to be compensated. MR Accesorios Industriales carries this line as part of its range of bearings and rod ends, with more than 80 years of experience in the business. If you need a rod end for your equipment, send us the part number via WhatsApp and we'll quote you.

The designation of the SALKAC M series reads as follows: the letters SA indicate a rod end with a male threaded shank; L indicates left-hand thread; K refers to the design with a steel cage; AC defines the male thread; and M indicates that the body has metric thread. The numbers that appear in the examples, such as 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16 and 20, correspond to the bore diameter of the rod end. Each suffix provides key information to identify the correct part.

These rod ends are used in industries such as food, metallurgy, agriculture and automotive. In Argentina, they are commonly found in hydraulic cylinders, steering systems, suspension arms, conveyors and machine tools. They are also used in earthmoving equipment and in the packaging industry, where resistance to corrosion and variable loads is required.

To select a SALKAC M rod end, take into account the bore diameter, the type of thread (metric or inch) and its direction (right-hand or left-hand). Verify the static and dynamic load capacity according to the SKF catalogue. During mounting, ensure correct alignment and proper tightening; use seals if the environment has dust or moisture. Periodic lubrication extends service life, especially in applications with continuous movement.

SKF rod ends are interchangeable with those of other brands that follow the same dimensional standard. When looking for a replacement, compare the complete part number and the technical specifications, such as the bore diameter and the type of thread. Not all rod ends with the same diameter have the same load capacity; therefore, it is important to verify the exact designation. If you have doubts, ask us with the original part number.
