SKF SC ES series rod ends are radial spherical plain bearings designed to withstand combined loads and allow oscillating motion. They are used in transmission systems, hydraulic cylinders and steering mechanisms, where variable alignment requires angular freedom. At MR Accesorios Industriales we sell them as official brand, with more than 80 years of experience in the field. If you need a solution for shafts that are not perfectly aligned, this series is a technical option to consider.

The SC ES series designation is interpreted as follows: the letters SC identify the type of rod end, with internal thread and steel cage, while the ES suffix indicates that it incorporates double-lip seals to retain lubricant and exclude contaminants. The numbers that appear in the examples, such as SC 20 ES or SC 50 ES, correspond to the bore diameter in millimeters. Thus, the series covers from 20 to 50 mm in the listed sizes. Knowing this logic allows you to order the correct code without ambiguity.

These rod ends are used in industries such as metallurgy, food and automotive. In Argentina they are commonly found in hydraulic cylinders of agricultural machinery, in steering systems of heavy vehicles and in material handling equipment. They are also used in presses, cranes and conveyors where absorbing misalignments and vibrations is required. Their robust design makes them suitable for demanding environments, with good resistance to corrosion and wear.

To correctly select an SC ES rod end, take into account the radial and axial load it will withstand, the required oscillation angle and the environmental conditions. The ES sealing is suitable for environments with moderate dust or humidity; if there are frequent washdowns, evaluate additional protections. Mounting must ensure that the shaft and housing are clean and free of burrs. Periodic lubrication with lithium grease is key to extending service life, especially in applications with continuous motion.

Regarding equivalences, SKF SC ES series rod ends can be interchanged with products from other manufacturers that follow the same dimensional designation, such as the GE series or similar. However, always verify tolerances and the type of sealing, because not all brands maintain the same specifications. Interchangeability is possible when the bore diameter, width and load capacity match. For critical replacements, consult our technical team and avoid assumptions.

If you already have the code of the rod end you need, send it by WhatsApp to MR Accesorios Industriales and we will quote you promptly. We can also advise you if you are unsure between one size or another of the SC ES series. With more than 80 years in the market, at MR Accesorios Industriales we know bearings and rod ends.
