Rod End Female Imperial Kit
Rod End Female Imperial Kit 48 Piece
Rod End Female Imperial Kit 48 Piece. A rod end bearing, also known as a heim joint (N. America) or rose joint (U.K. and elsewhere), is a mechanical articulating joint. Such joints are used on the ends of control rods, steering links, tie rods, or anywhere a precision articulating joint is required. A ball swivel with an opening through which a bolt or other attaching hardware may pass is pressed into a circular casing with a threaded shaft attached. The threaded portion may be either male or female.
Rod end bearings are used on the ends of cylinders, linkages, rods, and shafts to take up angular misalignment between connected parts. They consist of a spherically-shaped inner ring and a cylindrical bore for shaft mounting.
Rod end bearings are used in applications that accommodate low to moderate shaft misalignment. They are also used in many aerospace, military, and automotive applications. In the automotive industry, rod end bearings are used in steering knuckles and transmission linkages
Load capacity and maximum angular misalignment are the most important specifications to consider. In most cases, bearing motion is symmetrical and the maximum angular misalignment is half of the total side-to-side range
Rod end bearings attach to rods and shafts via a male stud with external threads or a female housing with internal threads. Right-handed threads tighten in a clockwise direction and are the most commonly used type of thread. Left-handed threads tighten in a counterclockwise direction and must match the mating part
Dimensional Specifications, Rod End Bearings Information
English design units include inches (in) and fractions of an inch.
Metric design units include millimeters (mm) and centimeters (cm).
Bore diameter is the inner diameter (ID) of the bearing bore.
Major diameter is the nominal diameter to the top of the threads.
Bearing thickness is the length through the bore.
Housing diameter is the outside diameter (OD) of the bearing housing.
Overall length is the distance from the top of the housing to the end of the shank.
