SKF rod ends are precision-engineered mechanical joints that incorporate a spherical plain bearing within an eye-shaped head, allowing for smooth rotational and oscillatory motion. Made to carry heavy loads, they are used in demanding jobs such as hydraulic and pneumatic cylinders, vehicle steering and suspension systems, industrial machines, aircraft controls, and marine equipment. They are available in a wide range of sizes with male or female threads, and with left-hand or right-hand options to fit many types of setups.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why Choose SKF Rod Ends?
SKF rod ends are built to last and perform well even in tough conditions. They are engineered to support substantial radial and axial loads, making them ideal for high-stress environments. Thanks to their spherical plain bearing design, they can accommodate angular misalignment between connected components, which is crucial for ensuring smooth and reliable motion in dynamic systems. Our product range is highly versatile, with a wide variety of configurations available to suit specific requirements, including different thread types, sizes, and materials. We also offer both maintenance-required and maintenance-free SKF Rod Ends, allowing users to choose based on accessibility and service schedules.
What applications are SKF Rod End Bearings suitable for?
SKF rod end bearings are versatile components used in a wide range of applications, including:
- Hydraulic and Pneumatic Cylinders: Help link moving parts and allow for slight misalignment.
- Automotive Suspension and Steering Systems: Support smooth movement and help handle forces while driving.
- Industrial Machinery: Facilitating movement and load handling in equipment such as conveyors, presses, and robotic arms.
- Aerospace Control Systems: Help control moving parts in planes with accuracy.
- Marine Equipment: Work well in wet or salty corrosive conditions, and resist rust and wear.
What is the difference between maintenance-required and maintenance-free SKF Rod Ends?
Maintenance-required rod ends use steel-based contact surfaces and need regular lubrication. They're ideal for high-load applications where maintenance is accessible. Maintenance-free versions use self-lubricating materials and require no re-lubrication, making them suitable for hard-to-reach or low-maintenance setups.
How do I select the appropriate SKF Rod End for my application?
Start by identifying the load type, magnitude, and motion, whether rotational, oscillating, or static. Consider the environment, space constraints, and whether ongoing maintenance is feasible. Matching these factors to the right model ensures performance and longevity. If you’re unsure of the best SKF rod end for your machinery, feel free to get in touch with one of our experts, who will be happy to help you find the most suitable rod end for you.
