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 T/K Rod End Bearing – Metric Female Thread, Maintenance-Free
SI T/K Rod End Bearing is a documented maintenance-free series for industrial linkage or pivot applications. Maintenance-free steel/PTFE sliding pair; metric female thread, right- or left-hand versions. Use the main image for identification and the full product description for model-by-model dimensions and load data.
SI T/K is the practical choice when a linkage needs a female-thread rod end but routine greasing is undesirable. The catalogue combines a zinc-plated rod-end body with a steel/PTFE sliding surface, so the joint can accommodate angular movement while keeping the installation compact. It is offered across a broad 5–50 mm bore range, with metric threads from the small M5 class up to M48 sizes.

Typical Applications
Selection Guide
Start with bore and thread, then check the dynamic and static catalogue ratings against the real load case. Thread hand matters more than it first appears: opposed left- and right-hand rod ends can make turnbuckle-style linkage adjustment much easier.
Installation & Maintenance
Because this is the maintenance-free T/K family, do not design a lubrication task into the service plan.
Related Bearings
SA T/K for a male-thread layout; NHS when a pressed-body PTFE-lined rod end is preferred; GE C for a maintenance-free spherical plain bearing without the threaded housing.
