SKF SI E series radial rod end bearings are spherical plain bearings with a threaded shank that allow oscillating movements and angular misalignments. They are used in mechanisms where smooth rotation and combined load capacity are required, such as hydraulic cylinders, steering systems and transmission systems. MR Accesorios Industriales carries this line as an official brand so you can choose the right size for your application.

The designation of the SI E series is read as follows: SI indicates a radial rod end bearing with a male shank, and E indicates a version with specific sealing or design features. The numbers appearing in the examples, such as SI 6 E, SI 8 E, SI 10 E or SI 12 E, correspond to the nominal bore diameter, expressed in millimeters. The larger that number, the greater the load capacity and the overall dimensions of the rod end bearing. To select the correct size, take into account the diameter of the shaft or pin that will house it.

These rod end bearings are used in industries in Argentina such as metalworking, automotive, agricultural and construction. They are present in hydraulic and pneumatic cylinders, steering arms, suspension systems, road machinery, lifting equipment and transmission mechanisms that require oscillating movements. They are also used in the food and packaging industry, where reliable, low-friction articulated movement is needed.

To choose correctly, consider the radial and axial load it will support, the required misalignment angle and the environmental conditions. The E-type sealing helps retain lubricant and protect against dust and moisture. During mounting, make sure the threaded shank is properly tightened and aligned with the movement of the mechanism. Periodic lubrication with suitable grease extends service life, especially in applications with alternating loads or moderate speeds.

Regarding equivalents and interchangeability, SKF SI E series rod end bearings can be replaced by products from other manufacturers that follow the same dimensional designation, such as similar series from INA, NSK or NTN. Always verify the critical dimensions: bore diameter, shank thread, width and tilt angle. Do not invent part numbers: if you have doubts, consult us with the exact size and we will help you find the compatible option.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the abbreviation SI E mean in these SKF rod end bearings?
SI indicates a radial rod end bearing with a male shank, and E refers to a version with specific sealing or design. The numbers that follow, such as 6, 8, 10 or 12, correspond to the bore diameter in millimeters. This nomenclature helps you quickly identify the size and type of rod end bearing.
How do I choose the correct size of an SI E rod end bearing?
Measure the diameter of the shaft or pin that will house the rod end bearing and select the matching number. Also consider the radial and axial load, the misalignment angle and the available space. If you have doubts, consult us with the dimensions and we will advise you.
Are SKF SI E rod end bearings interchangeable with other brands?
Yes, they may be compatible with rod end bearings from other manufacturers that share the same dimensional designation, such as the equivalent series from INA, NSK or NTN. Always verify the bore diameter, the shank thread and the width. To be sure, send us the part number and we will confirm the equivalent.
