SKF SILKAC M series rod ends are spherical joints that allow oscillating movements and misalignment between shafts. They are used in mechanisms where freedom of rotation and a certain radial load capacity are needed. MR Accesorios Industriales sells this line, with technical advice to choose the right size for your application.
The designation SILKAC identifies the rod ends of the series, and the number that follows indicates the bore diameter in millimeters: for example, SILKAC 6 M has a 6 mm bore diameter, SILKAC 8 M has 8 mm, and so on according to the part number. The suffix M 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 ends are used in agricultural machinery, material handling equipment, steering systems, pneumatic and hydraulic actuators, and in any mechanism that requires articulation. In Argentina, the industries that use them most are agriculture, metalworking, food and transport. They also appear in packaging equipment and in automation where small misalignments need to be compensated for.
To select a SILKAC M rod end, take into account the bore diameter, the thread type and the load direction. Verify that the housing and the shank are aligned within the permissible limits. Periodic lubrication and proper sealing extend service life, especially in dusty or humid environments. During mounting, avoid striking the rod end and make sure the support surfaces are clean and free of burrs.
SKF SILKAC M series rod ends 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, consult us with the complete part number and we will help you find the right equivalent.
