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

Hydraulic cylinder ends

Heavy machine linkages

Oscillating joints with service access

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.

FAQ

Female metric thread — what changes selection?
On larger sizes, bracket stiffness becomes part of the bearing problem: flexible ears can introduce edge loading that a catalogue rating does not show.
Lubrication hole or grease nipple — what should installers watch?
Check pin condition, housing alignment and free tilting at commissioning, then base relubrication on operating exposure rather than a generic calendar interval.
Oscillating joints with service access — suitable duty?
Oscillating joints with service access is a screening application for the SI-ES series; final size follows the model table and actual joint duty.
