Product DetailsThese Male Heavy Duty Rods end with Integral Spherical Plain Bearing and are used to connect two rods, cables, or other components. They are made up of a threaded male stud on one end and an integrated spherical plain bearing on the other. The spherical plain bearing allows for angular misalignment and accepts radial and axial loads, making it ideal for applications requiring flexibility and load-carrying capabilities.
The rod end ball moves on a plastic bearing shell made of a glass fibre-filled nylon/Teflon composite. This design ensures a maintenance-free rod end. Heavy-duty plain-bearing rod ends feature less initial movement friction and almost no clearance. Another advantage of the plastic substance is that it can absorb numerous foreign particles, preventing harm.
It is threaded into the corresponding component. It can also endure temperatures ranging from -30C to +60C without losing load capacity. Higher temperatures lower load capacity. It is utilised in steering systems, suspension systems, and linkages for automotive, construction, and industrial automation applications.
