The SKF SIL ES-2RS is a spherical plain bearing rod end with a male threaded shank and left-hand thread. It handles combined radial and axial loads while allowing movement between shafts that are not perfectly aligned. The double elastomer seals on both sides keep lubricant in and contaminants out, which suits dirty or damp conditions. MR Industrial Accessories LLC supplies this SKF line and helps you match the right size to your application.
The code breaks down into three parts. SIL tells you it is a rod end with a male shank and left-hand thread. The number after it is the bore diameter in millimeters, so SIL 35 ES-2RS has a 35 mm bore and SIL 40 ES-2RS has a 40 mm bore. ES means a steel cage with a steel-on-PTFE contact, and 2RS means sealing on both sides. Reading the code this way lets you confirm the part before you order.
These rod ends show up in metallurgy, food processing, chemical plants and material handling. They are common on hydraulic cylinders, steering linkages, suspension arms, packaging machinery, conveyors and farm equipment. Because they tolerate misalignment, they work well in articulated joints that flex or vibrate, and in industrial doors, gates and position adjustment mechanisms.
When selecting a rod end, check the bore diameter, the thread (male or female, right or left) and the sealing you need. Choose the 2RS version where dust, water or chemicals are present. During assembly, keep the shank aligned with the axis of rotation and make sure the rod end can swing freely. Lubricate it properly and tighten the lock nut to prevent play and get longer service life.
SKF SIL ES-2RS rod ends interchange with other brands that use the same dimensional designation. On a replacement, confirm the bore diameter, thread pitch and shank length against the original. MR Industrial Accessories LLC supplies this line and can suggest equivalents. If you are unsure, send the code stamped on the rod end and we will verify it.

Frequently asked questions
- What does the 2RS suffix mean on the SKF SIL ES-2RS rod end?
- The 2RS suffix means the rod end has double elastomer sealing on both sides. This keeps dust, water and other contaminants out and helps retain lubricant, making it a good choice for demanding environments.
- What are the typical applications of the SKF SIL ES-2RS rod end?
- It is used in hydraulic cylinders, steering systems, suspension arms, packaging machines, conveyor belts and agricultural equipment, among others. Its ability to handle misalignment makes it suitable for articulated joints with oscillating or rotational movement.
- How do I choose the correct size of SKF SIL ES-2RS rod end?
- You need the bore diameter, the thread type (male or female, right or left) and the required sealing. The complete code, for example SIL 35 ES-2RS, gives the diameter in millimeters. If you are unsure, ask us with the original size.
