Product DetailsThese Female Heavy Duty Rods join two rods, cables, or other components and end with an Integral Spherical Plain Bearing. They comprise a female threaded housing and an integrated spherical plain bearing. The spherical plain bearing supports both radial and axial loads. It allows for angular misalignment, making it ideal for applications requiring flexibility and load-carrying capabilities.
The rod end ball is supported by a plastic bearing shell constructed of glass fibre-filled nylon/Teflon composite. This design assures a rod end that requires no maintenance. Plain-bearing rod ends have minimal initial movement friction and nearly no clearance. Another benefit of the plastic composition is that it can absorb many foreign particles, thus reducing injury.
It offers a long-lasting finish that is resistant to corrosion and wear. The female threaded housing makes it simple to connect to a corresponding component. It can also withstand temperatures ranging from -30°C to +60°C while maintaining load capacity. Higher temperatures lower load capacity. It is utilised in steering systems, suspension systems, and linkages for automotive, construction, and industrial automation applications.
