SKF SFIK 10 FG belongs to spherical plain bearing, part of our Bearings range. Tell us how many you need by WhatsApp or email and we'll get back to you promptly with a quote for SFIK 10 FG and any equivalents.
The SKF SFIK FG is a radial rod end with a female thread, built as a spherical plain bearing for oscillating motion and radial loads in industrial equipment. It threads onto a stud and accommodates angular misalignment, so articulation points do not need to be perfectly aligned. The design suits compact mounting locations where rotation freedom and wear resistance matter.
The part number reads in two parts. SFIK identifies a radial rod end with female thread and a steel cage. The FG suffix adds permanent lubrication together with sealing. The number that follows, as in SFIK 10 FG, is the female thread diameter, here 10 mm. Other sizes use the same pattern, so always confirm the complete part number before ordering.
You will find these rod ends in food processing, automotive, metallurgical and packaging operations. They appear on pneumatic cylinders, steering linkages, robot arms, transmission systems and agricultural machinery. They are also common at articulation points on oscillating equipment where misalignment and corrosion exposure are present.
Selection comes down to three things: thread diameter, whether the load is radial or combined, and the operating environment. The FG seal keeps dust and moisture out, which helps in dirty or damp areas. During mounting, check alignment and avoid impacts that could mark the spherical surface. Because lubrication is permanent, routine maintenance is minimal, though severe duty may call for relubrication.
SKF rod ends can be swapped with equivalents from other recognized brands when the main dimensions and thread type match. For a replacement, compare the full part number and the technical data. MR Industrial Accessories can review compatibility and point you to suitable options.

Frequently asked questions
- What does the FG suffix indicate on the SFIK rod end?
- FG means the rod end comes with permanent lubrication and an integrated seal. That configuration is intended for dusty or humid conditions and reduces maintenance work. Send us your part number to confirm the exact features.
- How do I determine the correct SFIK size?
- The size matches the female thread diameter, shown as the number after SFIK, such as 10 in SFIK 10 FG. Measure the stud thread where the rod end will be installed and select the corresponding part number. If you are unsure, share the measurement and we will help.
- Can I replace it with another brand?
- Yes, as long as dimensions, thread type and load capacity align. Compare the complete part number and technical specifications before substituting. We can assist in identifying a compatible alternative.
