SI..E(S) Series Female Rod End Bearing - Metric

Gonuo SI series rod end bearing is a high-load metric female rod end bearing designed for industrial linkage systems, hydraulic equipment and heavy machinery applications. Featuring LH/RH internal threads and a radial spherical plain bearing structure, it provides reliable connection, smooth angular movement and excellent load capacity.

The SI..E rod end bearing and SI..ES rod end bearing adopt a durable steel steel rod end bearing structure with zinc-plated medium carbon steel body for corrosion resistance. The SI..ES type includes lubrication holes or grease nipples, making it an ideal maintenance rod end bearing solution for applications requiring regular servicing and long-term operation. 


SI..E(S) Series Rod End Bearing Description


The SI..E (S)/SI..ES 2RS Series is a maintenance-required rod end bearing with internal threads (left-hand or right-hand available). It consists of a rod end body and a radial spherical plain bearing (GE..E (S)/GE..ES 2RS). The rod end body is made of medium carbon steel with environmentally friendly zinc plating. It adopts a steel/steel sliding pair; both the ball and outer ring are made of heat-treated bearing steel (hardness HRC 54-60) with phosphating treatment. ES models are equipped with lubrication holes/grease nipples for regular grease injection. For specifications with d≥15, the optional 2RS double-seal structure effectively prevents dust and moisture ingress. Specifically designed for high-load, regularly maintainable internal linkage scenarios in equipment, it offers strong load-bearing capacity and compatibility with a wide range of metric sizes, serving as a core connector for internal linkages in heavy machinery.


Core Advantages

1. Steel/Steel Structure for High Load Performance

The steel steel rod end bearing design provides excellent wear resistance, impact resistance and load capacity, ensuring stable operation in demanding industrial environments.

2. Maintenance-Friendly Lubrication Design

The SI..ES rod end bearing features lubrication holes or grease nipples, allowing regular grease maintenance to reduce friction and extend service life.

3. Precision Internal Thread Connection

The metric female rod end bearing uses accurate LH/RH internal threads for secure installation and reliable connection with equipment linkage systems.

4. Optional 2RS Sealing Protection

The sealed version helps prevent dust and moisture contamination, improving durability in outdoor and harsh working conditions.

5. Corrosion-Resistant Surface Treatment

The SI series rod end bearing adopts zinc plating and surface protection treatment to enhance rust resistance and service reliability.

Tips:
If the thread is left-hand (LH), the letter "L" must be appended to the bearing designation, e.g., SIL 18 T/K.
For bearing bore diameter d ≥ 15, the -2RS sealed variant is also available, e.g., SI 20 ES 2RS.
Models marked with an asterisk (*) do not include a lubrication hole or grease nipple.
