Ball joints serve as linking and guiding elements for movable parts and create corner joints. These parts from component suppliers can significantly simplify mechanical construction, be used to transfer power in offset axles, transmit movement and are indispensable in all mechanical operations such as cushioning, drawing, tilting, levering, etc.
mbo Osswald always keeps a large number of ball joints out of his product palette of more than 12,000 parts in stock. In addition to the DIN 71802 ball joints which consist of DIN 71805 housings and DIN 71803 ball studs, every possible variation is ready to be called up by the customer. There is also a choice of surface protection such as, for example, blank, galvanised zinc, steel or stainless-steel versions.
For problematic environmental conditions (dust, lubricants) there are special ball joints with sealing caps available. The programme is extended with axial joints.

GMT ball joints are structural elements whose inner ball is firmly connected to the outer metal by means of a vulcanized elastomer layer. Such joints are designed for multi-directional torsional loads and thus, ideal as vibration-technological components for joints and connecting rods. One advantage is the fact that all movements can be achieved without any lubricants. GMT ball joints can be made up of an inner pin/ through hole as well as of an outer socket sonsisting of one or several segments.

DURBAL heavy-duty rod ends with a integral maintenance-free spherical plain bearing, Series BEM, BEF, EM, EF
In many cases DURBAL heavy-duty rod ends with integrated spherical plain bearing serve their purpose. They are primarly used for small swiveling or tilting movements at low speeds. They stand out for their high loadability and can also be used for shock loads.The ball slides on a composite bearing shell consisting of a glass fiber-filled nylon/teflon component. This design ensures an absolutely maintenance-free rod end. DURBAL heavy-duty plain bearing rod ends have a slight initial stress and virtually no clearance. The composite material used has a favorable secondary advantage in that it absorbs any foreign particles and embeds them so that no damage can occur. The joint balls of DURBAL heavy-duty rod ends with integrated spherical plain bearings are hard chrome plated. This reliable corrosion protection ensures that the function of the rod end will not be affected by a corroded ball surface under humid operating conditions.

DURBAL heavy-duty rod ends with integral self-aligning ball bearings, Series BRM,BRF,PM,PF
This design is especially suitable for high speeds, large swiveling angles or rotating movements with relatively low or medium loads. Prominent technical features are the low bearing friction, sealing against rough dirt penetration by means of shields on both sides. Under normal operating conditions the rod ends are maintenance-free. A Grease nipple is provided for lubrication during rough service and maximum loads. To avoid incompatibility with the initial lubrication, we recommend lubricating with a calcium-complexsoap- grease or Polyrex EP2. A special heat treatment procedure matches the rod end housing raceway hardness to the antifriction bearings, ensuring the same time high stability with changing loads.

DURBAL heavy-duty rod ends with integral self-aligning roller bearings, Series BRTM, BRTF
The design based on the structure of a self-aligning roller bearing is preferably used for high speed, large tilting angles or rotating motion with medium loads. Compared to rod ends with selfaligning ball bearings, rod ends with selfaligning roller bearings have essentially higher basic load ratings. This design is equipped with a cage to minimize the rolling friction and heat built-up. These rod ends are under normal operating conditions maintenance-free. A Grease nipple is provided for lubrication in case of rough operation and maximum load. To avoid incompatibility with the initial lubrication, we recommend lubricating with a calcium-complexsoap- grease or Polyrex EP2. Shields on both sides prevent dirt particles from penetrating into the bearing. The rod ends with selfaligning roller bearings are, just as the design with self-aligning ball bearings, subjected to a special heat treatment procedure to match the racway hardness to the antifriction bearings, ensuring at the same time a high stability with changing loads and temperature.
