SKF SRILKB FG rod ends are radial spherical plain bearings with internal thread, designed to transmit oscillating motion and combined loads in mechanical systems. They are used in hydraulic cylinders, steering, suspension and automation. MR Accesorios Industriales supplies this line as an official brand, with technical advice to choose the correct size and sealing according to your application.
The SRILKB FG designation is read as follows: SRILKB identifies the series of rod ends with internal thread and steel body, and FG indicates the type of sealing or joint configuration. The number that appears between both parts, as in SRILKB 8 FG or SRILKB 12 FG, corresponds to the inner diameter of the rod end in millimeters. For each size there is an associated thread; it is advisable to verify the manufacturer's table before ordering. If you have doubts, send us the complete part number and we will review it together.
These rod ends are used in hydraulic and pneumatic cylinders, steering rods, vehicle suspension, road machinery, agricultural equipment and automation systems. In Argentina we see them in combine harvesters, sprayers, forklifts and packaging lines. Their function is to allow angular misalignments while supporting moderate radial and axial loads. As rod ends, they do not rotate continuously: they work with oscillating or pivoting motion, which is why they are chosen by static and dynamic load capacity, not by speed.
To select an SRILKB FG, first look at the inner diameter and the type of thread. Then, the sealing: the FG suffix incorporates seals that retain lubricant and block dust and water, something key in dirty or humid environments. Assembly requires proper alignment of the shaft and thread to avoid forcing the rod end. Grease according to the working regime and check clearance periodically. If there is excessive play or noise, replace it: a worn rod end transmits vibrations and accelerates wear of other components.
Regarding equivalences, SKF rod ends are interchangeable with other European and Asian brands under similar dimensional standards, but there is no automatic code-to-code correspondence. The sealing, cage material and load capacity change. Therefore, if you are coming from another brand, send us the old part number and dimensions; we will help you find the equivalent SRILKB FG.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What does the FG suffix mean in SRILKB rod ends?
- FG indicates a configuration with joint sealing, designed to retain lubricant and prevent the ingress of contaminants. It is a variant widely used in applications with dust, water or frequent washdowns. If your equipment works in those conditions, it is advisable to choose this suffix.
- How do I choose between SRILKB 8 FG and SRILKB 12 FG?
- The main difference is the inner diameter: 8 mm and 12 mm respectively. Choose according to the diameter of the pin or shaft where it is mounted. Also verify the thread and the load it must support. If you are not sure, send us the housing dimensions and we will guide you.
- Do SKF rod ends have equivalents in other brands?
- Yes, dimensional equivalents exist in other brands, but there is no universal code table. Seals, materials and capacities change. To replace a rod end, compare inner diameter, thread and joint type. At MR we help you validate the replacement with the technical data sheet.
