Rod Ends
Designed for Demanding Applications with Misalignment Tolerance and High Radial Loads
General Information
We supply a comprehensive range of rod ends (plain bearing type), both in original and compatible versions, suitable for a wide variety of industrial linkages and motion control systems. Our selection includes rod ends compatible with leading brands like SKF, FAG, INA and others. These components are designed for oscillating movements under radial loads, and many models also handle axial loads effectively.
Rod ends consist of a housing with an integrated spherical plain bearing, allowing precise articulation and alignment compensation. Options include maintenance-free models with PTFE liners and greasable steel-on-steel types for heavy-duty applications. Variants are available with internal or external threads, right-hand or left-hand orientation, and different shank designs to suit custom assemblies.
We support a wide range of series (GE..E, GE..ES, GE..UK, POS/PHS) in both metric and inch dimensions, with models for static or dynamic loads, high angular misalignment, and environments with dust, humidity, or high mechanical stress. Worldwide shipping and technical assistance are available.
