Rod end Bearing Introduction

Rod ends, also known as ball joint bearings, rod ends or spherical joint bearings, are a common mechanical connection element commonly used to connect robotic arms, connecting rods, cylinders and other moving parts. Rod ends allow angular adjustment at the connection point and support both radial and axial loads.

Rod ends are widely used in industry, machinery, automobiles, aerospace and other fields.

The characteristics of Rod end Bearing

1.Angle adjustment: It allows angle adjustment at the connection point.

 2. Multi-axis motion: It can withstand radial and axial loads and can meet the requirements of multi-axis motion systems.

 3. High precision: Bearings have high rigidity and can maintain the relative position of connected components under load.

 4. Strong adaptability: can work in high temperature, low temperature and high vibration environments and adapt to various working conditions.

 5. Long life: It has a sealing device, which can effectively prevent contaminants from entering the inside of the bearing and increase the service life.

 6. Widely used：used in industry, machinery, automobiles, aerospace etc.

Spherical Plain bearings introduction

Spherical Plain bearings are spherical sliding bearings with a sliding contact surface consisting of an inner sphere and an outer sphere. These bearings can rotate and articulate at any angle due to their special spherical design. Joint bearings are manufactured using various special processing techniques such as surface phosphorization, explosion, insertion, painting, etc.

Spherical Plain bearings have the following characteristics

1. Strong load capacity: Sphercial Plain bearings can withstand large loads. Depending on their different types and structures, they can withstand radial loads, axial loads, or combined radial and axial loads.

2. Impact resistance: The structural design of Sphercial Plain bearings makes them highly impact-resistant, able to maintain stability during impact.

3. Corrosion resistance: Sphercial Plain bearings have good corrosion resistance due to special surface treatment processes, allowing them to be used in various corrosive environments.

4. Wear resistance: Sphercial Plain bearings have good wear resistance due to their material and structural design, enabling them to maintain low wear rates over long-term use.

5. Self-aligning: Due to their spherical design, joint bearings can automatically adjust their position within a certain range, adapting to different centers of deviation.

6. Good lubrication: The inner race outer sphere of Sphercial Plain bearings is embedded with composite materials, enabling self-lubrication during operation and reducing friction and wear.

Sphercial Plain bearings are generally used for slow pivoting motion (i.e., angular motion), as well as for inclined motion within a certain angle range (i.e., self-aligning motion). When the supporting shaft and the housing bore are significantly out of alignment,Sphercial Plain bearings can still operate normally. These bearings are widely used in water conservancy, professional machinery and other industries.
