Rod Ends Market: Global Industry Analysis and Forecast

Overview: Rod ends also known as heim joints or rose joints are a type of bearing used in oscillating assemblies to reduce friction. It consists of a bearing mostly spherical, in the eye-shaped head of the rod end housing with integral shank. The rod ends misalign axially and thus allows the machinery to work efficiently […]

Why are Rod Ends and Spherical Bearings Teflon Lined?

A PTFE liner in a spherical bearing or rod end is a component that allows the unit to be “self-lubricating”. Metal on metal bearings need to be lubricated. In certain applications this can be difficult to accomplish. Grease lubrication attracts dirt and may prematurely wear apposing metal surfaces. Excessive wear will produce increased fatigue and […]
