Metallic Rod End Bearing Material Composition

ATCORP, ATC-REB, Rod End Bearing, also commonly known as a Heim joint or Rose joint. This mechanical articulating joint is designed to facilitate smooth rotational and oscillating movement, while also accommodating angular misalignment between connected components. Rod Joints, consists of an eye-shaped head with an integral shank that houses a spherical plain bearing (also called a spherical ball or ball joint). The shank is typically threaded (either male or female) for easy attachment to other mechanical components. Rod ends are crucial in applications requiring a precision articulating joint where a fixed point of contact needs to be maintained between two parts, even with some rotational freedom and angular misalignment. ATC-REB, Rod end Bearings come in various configurations, including male (external thread) and female (internal thread), and with right-hand or left-hand threads to suit diverse mounting and application requirements.

Benefits of Metallic Rod End Bearing

  • ATC-REB PHS bearings are suitable for applications with significant loads, including both radial and axial forces.
  • The spherical design allows for angular misalignment, which accommodates slight movements between connected parts.
  • Standard PHS rod ends require regular maintenance and have a grease nipple and lubrication groove. Some variants may be pre-lubricated.
  • They are optimized for low-speed rotational and oscillating movements.
  • The hardened bearing steel construction provides high precision and a long service life.
