Description:
Rod End and Spherical Bearings are typically used to reduce
friction and to give better control in oscillating assemblies
(back and forth). They also have the ability to misalign
axially. This attributes allows designs of machinery to
operate under conditions of oscillation, misalignment and
load, with the reduction of friction, making the design
and operation more efficient. Rod end bearings come in a
variety of sizes and materials, from 1/8" to 4 ½"
bore in imperial and 2mm to 200mm for metric, and male or
female threads in right hand and left hand. Inch and metric
rod ends are available with integral ball and roller bearings
for higher rpm usage. Spherical bearings come in many sizes
too ½ " to 6" for imperial and 2mm to 2,000mm.
Materials for both rod ends and plain spherical can be from
mild steel to heat treated alloys and stainless steel. Custom
sizes can be made to order too.
Uses:Applications
where a reduction in friction for a precise change in motion
is required such as: Race car suspension and most industrial
machinery.
