Product overviewOverview
A rod end consists of an inner ring with a spherical outside diameter and an outer ring with a matching spherical bore. The pair slides, allowing the shaft to tilt in several directions while transmitting load. That suits links that both carry force and need angular freedom, absorbing installation error and working motion.
Material: Customized per specification. It is threaded on, leaving the ball free to articulate.
Key featuresFeatures
- Spherical pair allows multi-directional tilt and absorbs installation error.
- Carries radial load with limited axial capacity.
- Relubricable for high load, maintenance-free for inaccessible points.
- Left- and right-hand threads allow length adjustment after installation.
Typical applicationsApplications
- Cylinder pushrod connections
- Steering and suspension links
- Automation actuators
Selection notesSelection
Size on equivalent dynamic load rather than thread size; tilt requirement decides whether a sealed version is needed.
Frequently asked questionsFAQ
How do I specify the High-Performance Rod End Bearings?
What matters during installation of the High-Performance Rod End Bearings?
| Material | Customized per specification |
|---|---|
| Surface Treatment | As required |
| Standard | GB/T 9161 (rod-end bearings) |
| Installation | threaded connection with angular freedom |
| Typical substrate | cylinder pushrods, steering links |
| Key inspections | clearance, articulation, static load |
Spherical clearance sampled and articulation checked by hand.We recommend a pilot assembly at the actual torque and mating part before locking the process parameters for volume.
