SKF SIKB12F Rod End Bearing Female Threaded Right Hand

The SKF SIKB12F is a female-threaded right-hand rod end bearing with a 12 mm bore (M12 x 1.75) that provides articulation and misalignment compensation in mechanical linkages and motion-control systems. It uses a steel housing with a hardened bearing steel ball inside a maintenance-free spherical plain bearing, delivering pivoting movement in applications such as hydraulic cylinders, pneumatic actuators, steering linkages, packaging equipment, agricultural machinery, lifting equipment, and other industrial automation setups requiring reliable load support. Its outside diameter is 33 mm and the housing width is 16 mm, designed for female threaded rod end installation and compliant with ISO dimensional standards for rod end bearings. Lubrication can be maintenance-free or grease lubricated depending on variant. Common replacements include SKF SIKAC12M, INA GIR12-DO, and Aurora MW-12.
