Design:
Maintenance-free rod end with a threaded shank With an open bearing (without seals), but relatively insensitive to contaminants, external (male) right-hand thread.
Sliding contact surface combination: Steel/PTFE FRP
Suitable for heavy, constant direction loads, where low coefficient of friction is required; limited suitability for alternating loads, shock loads.
Rod end with a steel/PTFE FRP sliding contact surface combination consist of a rod end housing and a spherical plain bearing inner ring. Between the housing and the inner ring, a sliding layer of fibre reinforced polymer, containing PTFE, is moulded to the housing.
