SKF rod ends of the SIKB F/VZ series are radial spherical plain bearings with a male threaded shank. They are used to transmit oscillating movement and radial loads in mechanisms that require angular misalignment. Their sealed design makes them suitable for environments with dust or moderate humidity. MR Accesorios Industriales sells this line, with technical advice to choose the correct size and sealing according to your application.
The designation SIKB identifies a rod end with a male shank and thread. The numbers that follow indicate the bore diameter of the spherical head, which varies according to the code. The suffix F indicates that the rod end has labyrinth-type sealing rings, and VZ designates the sealing variant with a protective bellows. The subsequent numeric codes, such as VZ7682 or VZ019, refer to specific sealing or surface treatment configurations. When ordering your rod end, provide the complete code to ensure exact equivalence.
These rod ends are used in agricultural machinery, soil movement equipment, hydraulic systems, automatic doors, conveyors and steering mechanisms. In Argentina they are common in seeders, harvesters and trailers, where they absorb misalignments and vibrations. They also appear in bottling, packaging and industrial automation equipment. Their ability to oscillate without excessive play makes them useful in articulated joints that must remain firm over time.
To select an SIKB F/VZ rod end, verify the bore diameter, the thread type and the load direction. The F or VZ sealing protects against dust and humidity, but if there is frequent washing or abrasive particles, it is advisable to check the condition of the bellows. Mounting must be done with the rod end aligned and without forcing the ball; use suitable wrenches and respect the tightening torque. Ball lubrication is permanent in these sealed units, although periodic inspection helps detect wear.
SKF SIKB F/VZ rod ends are interchangeable with other brands that follow the same dimensional and thread standard. When looking for a replacement, compare the inner diameter, thread pitch and type of sealing. Not all brands use the same suffixes, so the final numeric code may vary. At MR Accesorios Industriales we can help you find the correct equivalence between different brands, without compromising the operation of the mechanism.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What does the F/VZ suffix mean in an SKF SIKB rod end?
- The F suffix indicates labyrinth sealing rings, and VZ indicates the variant with a protective bellows. Both protect the ball against dust and humidity. The subsequent numeric code, such as VZ019, identifies a specific sealing or treatment configuration. Always provide the complete code for an exact equivalence.
- How do I choose the correct size of SIKB rod end?
- Measure the bore diameter of the spherical head and the thread type of the shank. The number in the designation, such as 8, 10, 12 or 16, corresponds to that diameter. Also consider the radial load and the oscillation angle. If you have doubts, consult us with the measurements and we will help you select.
- Are SKF SIKB F/VZ rod ends interchangeable with other brands?
- Yes, they are interchangeable with other brands that follow the same dimensional and thread standard. When replacing, compare inner diameter, thread pitch and type of sealing. Suffixes may vary between manufacturers, so verify the complete code. At MR we advise you to find the appropriate equivalence.
