SKF SIL6E Rod End Bearing

SKF SIL6E is a 6 mm bore rod end bearing with an M6 female thread, manufactured in steel, and provided as an open bearing (without seals). It houses a spherical plain bearing inside the eye, delivering a pivoting joint that accommodates angular misalignment between connected parts while the mating stud is threaded to M6. This compact, lightweight joint belongs to SKF’s SIL6E family and is designed for small‑linkage applications in automation, machinery, and general mechanical assemblies where a precise, smooth motion is required in tight spaces. The 6 mm bore and M6 thread enable use with standard 6 mm pins and mating components, and the steel construction provides durability in typical industrial environments. Because this variant is unsealed, lubrication access and maintenance should be planned per your system’s lubrication schedule. For correct installation, verify the thread direction and the exact variant offered by your supplier, as SIL6E components may be available with different thread orientations.
