The SIKAC series, like this model, has a steel/steel surface that requires regular lubrication. The SIKB series typically has a steel/bronze combination, which can offer different friction and wear characteristics.What type of grease is recommended for relubricating this SIKAC 16 M rod end?SKF recommends a high-quality lithium-based grease with EP (Extreme Pressure) additives for steel-on-steel spherical plain bearings. Always consult the SKF maintenance guide for the specific grease type suited to your application’s operating conditions (temperature, load, speed).Is this rod end suitable for high-vibration environments?Yes, steel-on-steel rod ends like the SIKAC 16 M are generally robust and can handle shock loads and vibrations well. However, for extremely high-frequency vibrations, ensuring proper and frequent lubrication is critical to prevent fretting corrosion and premature wear.Last Update: March 13, 2026PLC2DAY is not an authorized distributor, reseller or representative of the products featured on this website.
