SKF rod ends and spherical bearings in the SIL TXE-2LS line handle oscillating movement and misalignment between shafts. They suit points that only need limited rotation or tilting, including hydraulic cylinders, steering linkages and farm equipment. MR Industrial Accessories supplies this range as part of its SKF bearing selection for customers in the United States and Latin America.
Reading the code helps you pick the right unit. SIL marks a radial rod end with a female thread, the number that follows is the bore in millimeters, TXE covers the composite cage design, and 2LS means sealing on both sides. So SIL 35 TXE-2LS carries a 35 mm bore. The suffixes tell you how the part is sealed and built inside, which makes selection easier when the working conditions vary.
Typical users are agriculture, road construction, mining and earthmoving operations. The parts show up on hydraulic cylinders, steering arms, suspension systems, trailer hitches and road machinery, and they are common on combine harvesters, seeders, backhoe loaders and lifting equipment. Because they take combined radial and axial loads, they fit articulation points that oscillate.
Selection comes down to three things: bore diameter, the type of load involved (radial, axial or combined), and the environment. The 2LS seal keeps dust and moisture out, which matters on exposed positions. When mounting, check alignment and avoid hammering on the rod end. Lubrication has a direct effect on how long the part lasts, and some versions call for scheduled relubrication. Follow the manufacturer's guidance for the specific application.
SKF rod ends can be replaced by equivalent parts from other makers, but dimensions and load ratings must be checked first. Direct interchange does not apply across every series, since sealing, internal clearance and cage material all change behavior. For a replacement, line up the technical data and confirm the new component suits the job.

Frequently asked questions
- What does the 2LS suffix mean on an SKF rod end?
- It means the rod end is sealed on both sides with a double contact seal. That keeps dust and moisture out and helps the part last longer in tough conditions.
- How do I choose the correct diameter for my application?
- The bore has to match the shaft or pin it mounts on. Measure that diameter and pick the rod end with the same bore. If you are unsure, send us the measurements.
- Do SKF SIL TXE-2LS rod ends require maintenance?
- Depending on the application, some versions need periodic lubrication. The 2LS seal helps hold lubricant in and keep contaminants out. Check the manufacturer's recommended intervals.
