Stainless steel gearboxes are widely used in industrial transmission fields due to their high strength and corrosion resistance. However, in actual use, stainless steel gearboxes may still malfunction due to improper design, installation, lubrication or maintenance....
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.
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
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.
Related Bearings
SI T/K provides the female-thread counterpart; NOS offers a pressed-body maintenance-free male-thread design; GAR C / GAR ET 2RS extends the maintenance-free male-thread range to larger rod-end constructions.
