SKF SIL E rod ends are radial spherical plain bearings with an internal (female) thread. They handle radial loads and oscillating motion, and are commonly used in hydraulic cylinders, steering linkages, and transmission systems where alignment varies and friction must stay low. MR Industrial Accessories supplies these rod ends as part of its bearing and rod end line.
In the SIL E designation, SIL means a radial rod end with internal thread. The E at the end indicates a design with elastomer seals. The number in the middle gives the bore diameter in millimeters, not the thread size. For example, SIL 6 E, SIL 8 E, SIL 10 E, and SIL 12 E cover different bore sizes. This coding helps you match the rod end to the pin or shaft you will use.
These rod ends appear in metalworking, automotive, agricultural, and earthmoving equipment. Typical points include hydraulic cylinders on road machinery, steering linkages, lifting systems, and packaging equipment. They work well where the motion is not purely rotational but oscillating, with changing angles.
When selecting a SIL E rod end, consider the radial load, the bore diameter, and the thread type. The E seals help keep lubricant in and contaminants out, so they suit dusty or humid environments. During installation, check alignment between the rod and the housing to avoid side loads. Regular greasing with a suitable lubricant supports service life in continuous-motion applications.
SKF SIL E rod ends can be interchanged with other brands that use the same standardized designation. Still, verify exact dimensions and load capacity, because materials and surface treatments can differ. For replacements, compare the technical specifications and ask our team to confirm compatibility.

Frequently asked questions
- What does SIL mean in these rod ends?
- SIL identifies a radial rod end with internal (female) thread. The final E indicates elastomer seals for better sealing. The central number is the bore diameter in millimeters.
- Where are SIL E rod ends used?
- They are used in mechanisms with oscillating motion and misalignment, such as hydraulic cylinders, steering systems, linkages, and agricultural or road equipment. The sealed design makes them suitable for dusty or humid environments.
- How do I request a quote for SIL E rod ends?
- Write to us on WhatsApp or by email with the complete part number (for example, SIL 8 E) and the quantity you need. We reply with the quote and can advise you if you are not sure about the model.
