FAQ

What is the main difference between the SKF SILKAC and SALKAC series?

The primary difference is the thread type. The SILKAC series, like this SILKAC 16 M, has a female (internal) thread on the shank. The SALKAC series has a male (external) thread.

Does this SILKAC 16 M rod end require lubrication?

Yes, it does. The ‘C’ in the designation indicates that it has a steel-on-steel sliding contact surface which requires regular relubrication for optimal performance and lifespan. It is equipped with a grease nipple for easy maintenance.

Can this rod end be used for high-speed rotating applications?

No, this type of rod end is designed for oscillating, tilting, and slow rotational movements under heavy loads. It is not suitable for continuous high-speed rotation like a ball bearing.
