Description
SKF SIQG 12 ESA 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 SIQG 12 ESA and any equivalents.
The SKF SIQG ESA is a radial rod end with a female thread and a spherical plain bearing, built to handle radial loads and oscillating motion in industrial equipment. Its spherical joint compensates for misalignment between shafts, which helps where articulation and corrosion resistance are needed. MR Industrial Accessories supplies this brand and can help you match the right size to your application.
In the SIQG ESA code, SIQG denotes a radial rod end with female thread and sealing. The number that follows is the bore diameter in millimeters, so SIQG 12 ESA has a 12 mm bore. The ESA suffix points to a variant with surface treatment and special sealing for aggressive environments. Reading the code correctly lets you order the exact replacement.
Typical uses include hydraulic cylinders, steering linkages, road machinery, agricultural equipment and transmission systems. The ability to oscillate and align shafts makes these rod ends suitable for articulation points that see vibration and varying loads.
For selection, check bore diameter, thread type and the sealing required by the environment. Install with proper alignment and avoid shock loads. Lubrication extends service life; on sealed versions, inspect the seals. The spherical joint compensates for misalignment, but it does not replace correct installation.
SKF rod ends can be interchanged with those from other European brands that follow the same dimensional standard. When comparing equivalents, look at diameter, thread and sealing type. MR Industrial Accessories can guide you through the options.
Before requesting a quote, gather the details of the original rod end: full part number, bore size and thread type. Send that information by WhatsApp or email and the team will reply promptly with a quote and, if needed, suggest equivalents.

Frequently asked questions
- What does the ESA suffix mean in the SIQG rod end?
- The ESA suffix indicates a variant with special sealing and surface treatment for greater corrosion resistance. It matters in humid or dusty environments. Contact us to confirm compatibility.
- How do I determine the rod end size I need?
- Measure the bore diameter of the shaft or pin where it mounts. The SIQG designation includes that diameter in millimeters. Also check the thread type. If unsure, send a photo or the original part number.
- Are SKF rod ends interchangeable with other brands?
- Yes, provided they share the same dimensional standard. Compare diameter, thread and sealing. Not all brands use the same suffixes. For a safe replacement, contact us with the full part number.
