SKF SIKAC M/VZ spherical rod ends are radial rod ends with male thread, designed to transmit combined loads and allow oscillating motion and misalignment. They are used in steering systems, suspension, actuators and mechanisms where precise freedom of rotation is required. MR Accesorios Industriales supplies this line, with technical advice to select the right size and sealing for your application.

The SIKAC M/VZ designation reads as follows: SIKAC identifies the series of spherical rod ends with male thread and steel cage, while M indicates the body has metric thread and VZ that the retaining spring is stainless steel. The numbers that follow, as in SIKAC 10 M/VZ019 or SIKAC 30 M/VZ019, correspond to the bore diameter of the rod end. The final numeric suffix (019) refers to sealing or surface treatment variants; ask us if your application requires a specific version.

These rod ends are used in industries such as automotive, agricultural machinery, earthmoving equipment, cranes and hydraulic systems. In Argentina they are commonly found in steering arms, hydraulic cylinders, chain tensioners and lifting mechanisms. Their ability to withstand combined radial and axial loads makes them suitable for articulation points where there is slow oscillation or alternating motion, provided the load and misalignment angle limits are respected.

To select correctly, take into account the bore diameter, thread type (male or female), sealing and internal clearance. Versions with nitrile or polyurethane seals protect against dust and moisture, extending service life. Mounting must ensure alignment between shafts and avoid bending stresses. Periodic lubrication with lithium grease is key if they are not maintenance-free. Check the thread tightening torque and use lock nuts to secure the position.

Regarding interchangeability, SKF SIKAC rod ends can replace other brands that follow the same dimensional and thread standard. However, always verify tolerances and seal type, as small differences affect performance. MR Accesorios Industriales supplies SKF and can advise you on equivalences with other lines, without compromising the quality of the assembly. If in doubt, send us the original part number and we will help you find the right option.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the M/VZ suffix mean in SIKAC rod ends?
The M indicates metric male thread and VZ that the retaining spring is stainless steel. The number after the base code is the bore diameter, and the final suffix (019) refers to sealing or treatment variants. Ask us about your specific application.
How do I choose between a rod end with male thread and one with female thread?
It depends on the space and the type of connection. The male thread screws directly into a component with female thread, while the female thread receives a bolt or stud. Also consider the required misalignment angle and access for mounting.
How often are these rod ends lubricated?
The frequency depends on load, speed and environment. In applications with dust or moisture, lubricate more regularly using lithium grease. If they are sealed versions, follow the manufacturer's recommendations. A preventive maintenance plan extends service life.
