The SA..C Series Male Rod End Bearing (SA..C / SA..ET 2RS) is a heavy‑duty metric rod end bearing with external threads, available in left-hand (LH) or right-hand (RH) configurations. This professional male thread rod end bearing adopts a high-performance self-lubricating rod end structure with PTFE composite sliding pair, paired with a built-in spherical plain bearing rod end for stable angular movement and high load capacity.

For sizes with bore diameter d ≥ 35, this series is equipped with 2RS sealed rod end design to effectively block dust, moisture and impurities, ensuring stable operation in harsh working environments. The SA..C Series Male Rod End Bearing features high-strength bearing steel ball (HRC 58‑62), hard chrome plating, and environmentally friendly zinc-plated rod end body, delivering excellent wear resistance and corrosion protection.

As a reliable hydraulic cylinder rod end and key linkage component, this metric rod end bearing provides maintenance-free performance, smooth transmission and high precision, perfectly meeting the requirements of automated production lines, precision instruments, construction machinery and hydraulic systems.

Core Advantages

1. Maintenance-Free Self-Lubricating Design

The maintenance free rod end bearing uses a PTFE composite sliding structure to reduce friction and wear, minimizing lubrication requirements during long-term operation.

2. Durable Structure with High Wear Resistance

The SA-C rod end bearing features a robust construction with optimized material selection, providing stable performance and reliable service life under continuous working conditions.

3. Precision Metric External Thread

The SA-C metric rod end bearing follows international metric standards and provides accurate external thread connection for easy installation and secure fastening.

4. Smooth Spherical Motion Performance

The male spherical rod end bearing allows angular compensation while maintaining efficient force transmission in mechanical linkage applications.

5. Reliable OEM Manufacturing Capability

As a professional SA-C rod end bearing manufacturer, Gonuo supports customized dimensions, thread specifications, materials and surface treatments according to customer requirements.

Sliding Contact Pair:	Steel/PTFE Composite
Rod End Body Material:	Medium Carbon Steel, Environmental Zinc Plated
Outer Ring Material:	Carbon Steel
Ball:	Bearing Steel, Heat Treatment, Hardness HRC 58-62, Hard Chromium Plated

Tips:
If the thread is left-hand (LH), the letter "L" must be appended to the bearing designation, e.g., SAL6 C.
For bearing bore diameter d ≥ 35, the ET 2RS (sealed) design is required.

Industrial Automation: The SA-C series male rod end bearing is suitable for packaging machinery, textile equipment, printing machines and automated production systems requiring precise motion control.

Construction Machinery: The durable structure of the SA-C rod end bearing supports linkage systems in excavators, loaders and compact equipment.

Material Handling: Pivot points for conveyors, lifts, and automated guided vehicles.

Off-Highway Vehicles: Steering and throttle linkages for tractors and agricultural implements.

Hydraulic & Pneumatic Cylinders: The metric male rod end bearing provides reliable cylinder connection solutions where smooth movement and maintenance-free operation are required.
