SKF SILKAC M series rod end bearings are spherical plain bearings that allow oscillating motion and misalignment between shafts. They are used in mechanisms where freedom of rotation and some radial load capacity are needed. MR Accesorios Industriales carries this line as an official brand, with technical advice to choose the right size for your application.
The SILKAC designation identifies the rod end bearing series, and the number that follows indicates the bore diameter in millimeters: for example, SILKAC 6 M has a 6 mm bore, SILKAC 8 M has 8 mm, and so on up to SILKAC 20 M. The M suffix indicates that the thread is metric, both in the housing and in the shank where applicable. This nomenclature lets you quickly identify the size you need.
These rod end bearings are used in agricultural machinery, material handling equipment, steering systems, pneumatic and hydraulic actuators, and in any mechanism requiring articulation. In Argentina, the industries that use them most are agriculture, metalworking, food and transport. They also appear in packaging equipment and automation where small misalignments need to be compensated.
To select a SILKAC M rod end bearing, take into account the bore diameter, thread type and load direction. Verify that the housing and shank are aligned within permissible limits. Periodic lubrication and proper sealing extend service life, especially in dusty or humid environments. During installation, avoid striking the rod end bearing and make sure the support surfaces are clean and free of burrs.
SKF SILKAC M series rod end bearings can be interchanged with equivalent products from other brands that follow the same dimensional designation. Always verify the critical dimensions: bore diameter, thread and width. If you have doubts, ask us with the complete part number and we'll help you find the right equivalent.
