SKF SAL C series rod ends are spherical joints with a threaded shank that accommodate oscillating motion and angular misalignment in mechanical linkages. They transmit radial and axial loads where rotational freedom is needed. MR Industrial Accessories supplies this line as part of its bearings and power transmission range.
The part number breaks down as follows: SAL means a rod end with a male threaded shank for general use. The number after SAL is the nominal bore in millimeters, so SAL 6 C has a 6 mm bore. The C suffix identifies a steel cage and pre-lubrication for moderate temperatures. The series runs from SAL 6 C to SAL 25 C with standardized dimensions. For each size, confirm thread and width dimensions in the catalog.
Typical applications include steering linkages, suspension systems, hydraulic cylinders, sliding doors, packaging machines and earthmoving equipment. They also appear in agricultural implements and production lines that need articulation points resistant to wear and weather. The threaded shank mounts easily on plates or supports with female threads.
When selecting a SAL C rod end, evaluate the radial and axial load, the required misalignment angle and the operating environment. If dust or moisture is present, consider versions with additional seals. Lubrication should be adequate and periodic; many designs allow greasing through a channel in the shank. During assembly, align the shafts and avoid excessive bending stresses. Tighten the thread properly and use a lock nut if needed.
SKF SAL C rod ends can be interchanged with equivalent products from other brands that follow the same dimensional standard. For a replacement, compare bore diameter, thread type (male or female), pitch and load capacity. Rod ends with the same external size may not handle the same loads, so always check the manufacturer's specifications. MR Industrial Accessories can help you find equivalents without compromising assembly performance.

Frequently asked questions
- What does the C suffix indicate on SKF SAL rod ends?
- The C suffix denotes a steel cage and pre-lubrication, suitable for moderate operating temperatures. It does not alter the main dimensions but may affect permissible speed and load.
- How do I decide between a male and female threaded rod end?
- It depends on the thread of the mounting point. The SAL series has a male thread; for a female thread, look for the corresponding series. Always verify pitch and thread length.
- How often should SAL C rod ends be lubricated?
- Frequency depends on load, speed and environment. Under normal conditions, grease periodically according to your maintenance plan. In dusty or humid settings, shorten the intervals.
