SA T/K Rod End Bearing – Metric Male Thread, Maintenance-Free

SA T/K Rod End Bearing is a documented maintenance-free series for industrial linkage or pivot applications. Maintenance-free steel/PTFE contact; metric male threaded shank. Use the main image for identification and the full product description for model-by-model dimensions and load data.

MOQ: 50 pcs. Minimum order value USD 1,500; mixed orders and trial quantities welcome.

SA T/K puts the maintenance-free joint on a male threaded shank. That makes it easy to screw directly into a clevis, tube end or adjustable linkage without a separate threaded stud. The catalogue lists bores from 5 to 50 mm and pairs the steel/PTFE sliding interface with a zinc-plated body; the spherical inner-ring surface is chromium plated.

Typical Applications

Actuator rod extensions

Packaging and automation linkages

Agricultural control arms

Selection Guide

Choose the shank thread from the mating component first, then use bore d to match the pin. The load table is useful for screening, but the final joint also has to tolerate the actual oscillation angle and any side loading created by imperfect brackets.

Installation & Maintenance

This series is intended to run without periodic relubrication.

FAQ

Metric male threaded shank — what changes selection?
Left-hand versions are useful where in-place length adjustment is required.
Chromium-plated spherical inner-ring surface — what should installers watch?
During assembly, hold the shank rather than clamping across the bearing eye, set the jam nut without twisting the joint off-axis, and leave enough clearance for the eye to tilt through the machine’s full motion.
Agricultural control arms — suitable duty?
Agricultural control arms is a screening application for the SA-TK series; final size follows the model table and actual joint duty.
