The SI18TK and SIL18TK selflubricating rod end bearings are steel, femalethreaded joints designed for reliable, lowmaintenance pivot connections in mechanical linkages. The selflubricating bearing insert reduces the need for frequent lubrication, helping to minimize downtime in environments where access for maintenance is limited. Supplied as a single piece, this bearing comes in the color option SI18TK. Key benefits Selflubricating design for reduced maintenance and longer service intervals Steel housing provides strength and durability under load Female thread enables straightforward mounting to mating components Compact, precise construction supports smooth, quiet articulation Color option available: SI18TK Ready for singlepiece installation Key attributes Type: Rod End Bearing, Selflubricating, with female thread Models: SI18TK and SIL18TK Material: Steel Lubrication: Selflubricating bearing insert Package quantity: 1 piece Color: SI18TK Application fit: Suitable for standard rod end mounting configurations requiring a femalethreaded rod end bearing Compatibility and installation notes Designed for use where a femalethreaded rod end bearing is required Verify mating component thread size and compatibility with your application before installation Suitable for use in general mechanical linkages, pivots, and articulating joints Applications and use cases Robotic arms and automated pickandplace systems requiring reliable pivot joints with low maintenance Conveyor and packaging equipment that use pivoting linkages with limited lubrication access Agricultural machinery and general machinery where durable, lowmaintenance rod end bearings are needed Maintenance and care Designed for low maintenance due to its selflubricating construction Inspect for wear or damage during routine maintenance and as needed to preserve performance No routine external lubrication required under normal operating conditions This description reflects the product's brand, specifications, model family (SI18TK / SIL18TK), and selflubricating, femalethreaded steel construction, with the color option SI18TK and packaging as one piece.
