Description
SKF SFILK 5 FP1 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 SFILK 5 FP1 and any equivalents.
The SKF SFILK FP series is a spherical radial rod end built for combined loads and for joints that pivot rather than rotate continuously. An inner spherical plain bearing works with a split outer ring, which simplifies installation and compensates for angular misalignment. Typical uses include hydraulic cylinders, steering and suspension linkages.
Reading the code helps you order the right replacement. SFILK identifies a spherical radial rod end with a split outer ring and permanent lubrication. The figure after it gives the bore in millimeters, or the inch equivalent on certain variants. The FP suffix covers sealing and material execution. So SFILK 5 FP1 is a 5 mm bore rod end in FP1 execution.
These rod ends suit equipment with oscillating motion and combined radial loads: hydraulic and pneumatic cylinders, steering systems, agricultural machinery suspension, earthmoving equipment, forklifts, presses, robots and lifting mechanisms. Because they tolerate misalignment, they work well in articulated joints where alignment is not perfect. MR Industrial Accessories supplies this line for replacement and new projects.
Selection comes down to the radial and axial load, the oscillation angle and the operating environment. The FP seal keeps out dust and moisture, so check compatibility with the lubricants and temperatures on site. At mounting, confirm that shaft and housing tolerances are correct, since over-tightening can damage the spherical plain bearing. Lifetime lubrication keeps maintenance simple, though in severe conditions the seals should be inspected periodically.
For equivalences, SFILK FP rod ends can be interchanged with other manufacturers' products built to the same dimensional standard. Compare bore diameter, width, permissible load and seal type rather than relying on the code alone, and check the outer ring dimensions where space is tight. Matching the original SKF designation is the safest route where possible, and our team can review alternatives with you.
To request a quote, send the full code by WhatsApp or email. If you do not have it, send the bore, width and outer diameter plus a photo of the part, and mention the application. We serve customers across the United States and in several Latin American countries, and we can suggest equivalents and help you choose.

Frequently asked questions
- What does the FP suffix indicate on an SFILK rod end?
- FP denotes a particular sealing and material execution that supports corrosion resistance and lubricant retention. Main dimensions stay the same, but behavior in dusty or humid conditions changes. Confirm the exact code with us for compatibility.
- How do I compare an SKF rod end with another brand?
- Check bore diameter, inner ring width, outer diameter and permissible load, then the seal type and permitted oscillation angle. Any interchange should follow the same dimensional standard. Send us the details and we can review equivalents.
- What information do you need to quote a rod end?
- The complete code, such as SFILK 5 FP1, or the bore, width and outer diameter. A photo of the part and a note on the application also help. Send it by WhatsApp or email and we will reply promptly.
