For pivoting and oscillating joints, SKF SRILKB FG rod ends are radial spherical plain bearings with an internal thread. They handle combined loads in hydraulic cylinders, steering linkages, suspension systems and automation equipment. MR Industrial Accessories LLC supplies this line and can help you match the right size and sealing to your application.
The code breaks down into two parts. SRILKB is the series: a rod end with a steel body and internal thread. FG is the sealing or joint variant. The number in the middle—as in SRILKB 8 FG or SRILKB 12 FG—is the inner diameter in millimeters. Each size pairs with a specific thread, so check the manufacturer's table before ordering. Send us the full part number if you want us to confirm it.
Typical installations include hydraulic and pneumatic cylinders, steering rods, vehicle suspension, road machinery, agricultural equipment and automation systems. These rod ends allow angular misalignment while carrying moderate radial and axial loads. Because they are rod ends, they do not rotate continuously; they pivot or oscillate. That is why selection is based on static and dynamic load capacity rather than speed.
When choosing an SRILKB FG, start with the inner diameter and thread type. Then consider the sealing: the FG suffix adds seals that keep lubricant in and block dust and water—important in dirty or humid environments. During assembly, align the shaft and thread properly to avoid forcing the rod end. Grease according to the operating conditions and check clearance at regular intervals. If you find excessive play or noise, replace it; a worn rod end transmits vibration and speeds up wear on other components.
SKF rod ends can be dimensionally interchanged with other European and Asian brands under similar standards, but there is no automatic code-to-code match. Sealing, cage material and load capacity differ. If you are replacing another brand, send us the old part number and dimensions; we will help you find the equivalent SRILKB FG.

Frequently asked questions
- What does the FG suffix mean in SRILKB rod ends?
- FG indicates a joint sealing configuration designed to retain lubricant and keep contaminants out. It is commonly used where dust, water or frequent washdowns are present. If your equipment operates in those conditions, this suffix is a suitable choice.
- How do I choose between SRILKB 8 FG and SRILKB 12 FG?
- The main difference is the inner diameter: 8 mm and 12 mm respectively. Select based on the pin or shaft diameter where it mounts. Also verify the thread and the load it must support. If you are unsure, send us the housing dimensions and we will guide you.
- Do SKF rod ends have equivalents in other brands?
- Yes, dimensional equivalents exist in other brands, but there is no universal code table. Seals, materials and capacities vary. To replace a rod end, compare inner diameter, thread and joint type. At MR we help you validate the replacement with the technical data sheet.
