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....
SI ES Rod End Bearing – Female Thread, Spherical Plain Bearing Insert
SI ES Rod End Bearing is a documented maintenance required series for industrial linkage or pivot applications. Rod-end housing with GE E(S)/GE ES 2RS insert; female metric thread. Use the main image for identification and the full product description for model-by-model dimensions and load data.
SI ES is built around a radial spherical plain bearing insert rather than a simple pressed liner. The female-thread housing accepts GE..E(S) or GE..ES 2RS type bearing construction and includes a lubrication route. That gives designers a serviceable rod end in sizes from 6 to 80 mm bore.

Typical Applications
Selection Guide
The insert style and sealing arrangement should be chosen with the environment in mind. Start with bore and thread, then verify the eye width, center distance and load rating.
Installation & Maintenance
Provide a grease path that remains accessible after the cylinder or linkage is installed. When a sealed 2RS insert is selected, keep the seal lips clean during assembly.
Related Bearings
SA ES uses a male thread; GE E / GE ES 2RS is the corresponding spherical plain bearing family without the rod-end housing; GIR C / GIR ET 2RS is the maintenance-free female-thread alternative.
