SKF SAL TXE-2LS rod ends are radial spherical plain bearings with a male threaded shank. They handle radial and axial loads where parts must oscillate and allow for misalignment. Double-lip seals on both sides keep grease in and contaminants out, which helps in tough environments. Typical uses include farm machinery, construction equipment, steering systems and power transmission.
Reading the code: SAL means a radial rod end with male thread and a steel cage. TXE tells you the body has a special surface treatment and that double-lip seals are fitted. The number in the middle, as in SAL 35 TXE-2LS or SAL 40 TXE-2LS, is the bore diameter in millimeters. The -2LS suffix confirms seals on both sides, which retain lubricant and block dust and moisture.
Where they work: agriculture, on plows and seeders that see vibration and changing loads; construction, on hydraulic cylinders and excavator arms; automotive, in steering and suspension. They also show up on conveyors, cranes and material handling gear, where oscillating motion and resistance to corrosion matter for continuous operation.
Selecting the right one: check the radial and axial load, the temperature range and the environment. The double-lip seal needs good grease; make sure the threaded shank matches the housing thread and that alignment is correct to avoid extra stress. Tighten in a controlled way during assembly, then check clearance and seal condition at intervals.
Interchange: other makers may offer rod ends with the same dimensional designation, but tolerances, thread type and load capacity can differ. Confirm the technical data before swapping one for another. MR supplies this brand and can help you choose.

Frequently asked questions
- What does TXE mean on an SKF rod end?
- TXE means the body has a special surface treatment and the rod end has double-lip seals. That combination improves corrosion resistance and keeps contaminants out.
- How do I pick the size of a SAL rod end?
- The number in the code, such as 35 or 40, is the bore diameter in millimeters. Match it to the bolt or pin you use and check the load capacity you need.
- How often should -2LS rod ends be greased?
- It depends on the application. In clean conditions and moderate loads, every 500 hours may be enough; in harsh conditions, every 100 hours or less. Follow the machine builder's guidance.
