SKF SCF ES radial rod ends are spherical plain bearings that allow oscillating movements and misalignment between shafts. They are used in hydraulic cylinders, steering systems and mechanisms where angular freedom is required. MR Accesorios Industriales carries this line as an official brand, with technical advice to choose the correct size for your application.
The SCF designation corresponds to a radial rod end of the basic series, with an internal thread on the inner ring. The ES suffix indicates that it incorporates a double-lip seal and a design with a lubrication groove on both rings. Examples SCF 25 ES, SCF 30 ES, SCF 35 ES, SCF 40 ES and SCF 50 ES show the number that identifies the bore diameter, in increasing order. That number is not a direct measurement, but a size code that correlates with the standardized dimensions of the series.
These rod ends are used in hydraulic and pneumatic cylinders, steering systems, suspension, robot arms, agricultural machinery, road equipment and presses. In Argentine industry they appear in combine harvesters, seeders, forklifts, cranes and packaging lines. Their ability to support combined radial and axial loads with oscillating movement makes them suitable for articulation points where there is no continuous rotation.
To select an SCF ES rod end, take into account the bore diameter, the thread type (internal or external), the permissible misalignment angle and the static and dynamic loads. The ES seal protects against dust and moisture, but periodic lubrication through the provided channel is recommended. Mounting must ensure alignment between shafts and avoid bending stresses. Check the radial clearance and the concentricity of the housings to avoid shortening service life.
SKF SCF ES series rod ends are interchangeable with other brands that follow the same standardized dimensions, such as GE series or similar. When replacing, compare bore diameter, inner ring width, thread and seal type. Do not mix sealed and unsealed rod ends in the same mechanism. If you need an equivalence, MR Accesorios Industriales can help you identify the correct part number.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What does the ES suffix mean on an SCF rod end?
- The ES suffix indicates that the rod end has a double-lip seal and a lubrication groove on both rings. This protects it against contaminants and allows relubrication. Not all rod ends in the series have it; check the complete part number before ordering.
- How do I choose between a rod end with internal or external thread?
- The internal thread mounts onto a threaded shaft; the external thread mounts inside a threaded housing. The choice depends on the space and the type of fastening. In the SCF ES series, the part number does not specify the thread type, so consult the technical data sheet or send us the drawing.
- How often are SCF ES rod ends lubricated?
- The frequency depends on the load, speed and environment. In dusty or humid applications, lubricate more regularly using the provided channel. Follow the manufacturer's recommendations and check the condition of the seal. Proper lubrication extends service life.
