Rod end bearings in the SKF SIKB F line use a female thread and a spherical plain bearing design, so they handle oscillating movement and keep shafts aligned wherever angular freedom is needed. They suit moderate radial and axial duties in industrial equipment. MR Industrial Accessories supplies this line within its bearings and power transmission range.
Reading the code is straightforward. SIKB points to a rod end bearing with a female thread and a steel body, and the trailing F marks a surface treatment or friction material that raises wear resistance. The number in the middle gives the female thread diameter in millimeters, so SIKB 5 F carries an M5 thread, SIKB 10 F carries an M10 thread, and the pattern continues. That makes size and mounting style easy to identify at a glance.
Typical applications cover automotive, agricultural machinery, earthmoving equipment, hydraulic presses and steering systems. The same joints show up in trailers, seeders, combine harvesters and road equipment, as well as test benches, pneumatic actuators and lifting mechanisms. Where parts are not perfectly aligned, the ability to work through a range of angles keeps the connection functional.
Selection comes down to thread diameter, whether the load is radial or axial, how often the joint oscillates, and the surrounding environment. Dust or moisture calls for a version with additional sealing. During mounting, leave the rod end bearing free to oscillate and do not over-tighten the lock nut. Periodic lubrication with lithium grease helps service life, though certain versions include a self-lubricating surface. Check shaft alignment and thread perpendicularity to avoid parasitic stresses.
Interchange is possible with products from other manufacturers that carry the same dimensional designation, such as the SI or SIKB series. Tolerances and materials can differ between makers, so confirm compatibility before substituting. If you need guidance on interchangeability, our technical team can assist.

Frequently asked questions
- What does the SIKB F designation mean?
- SIKB identifies a rod end bearing with a female thread and steel body. The final F refers to a treatment or friction material that improves wear resistance. The number, such as 5, 8 or 12, is the thread diameter in millimeters.
- How do I choose the right rod end bearing for my application?
- Look at the required thread diameter, the load type, the oscillation frequency and the environment. In dusty or damp conditions, a sealed version is the better choice. Share your equipment data and we will advise.
- Are SIKB F rod end bearings interchangeable with other brands?
- They can be exchanged with products of similar dimensions that follow the same designation, but check tolerances and materials first. Specifications are not identical across every maker. Send us the part number and we will help you find the equivalent.
