Female Thread SI14TK Rod End Joint Bearing

Description of ball joint bearing:

A rod end bearing, also known as a heim joint (N. America) or rose joint (U.K. and elsewhere), is a mechanical articulating joint.The heim joint's advantage is that the ball insert permits the rod or bolt passing through it to be misaligned to a limited degree (an angle other than 90 degrees)

Joint bearing is dominated by an inner and outer sphere within a spherical outer ring,can withstand a greater load.According to their different types and structures that can withstand the radial load,axial load or radial,axial joint load.Since the inner surface of the outer sphere inlaid composite materials,so that the work can be generated in the bearing selflubricating.Generally used for slower swing movement,but also for the tilt angle within a certain range of motion,when the supporting shaft and shaft misalignment large shell hole,still work properly.Self-lubricating auxiliary bearing joints used in water conservancy, specialized machinery and other industries.
