Rod end bearings, also known as rose joints/heim joints, are a type of bearing that allows for rotation around a single axis while also accommodating some misalignment between the two parts it connects. This makes them ideal for use in a variety of applications where precise movement and misalignment are unavoidable, such as in the suspension systems of cars and trucks, the control linkages of robots, and the steering systems of bicycles.
Made from a robust combination of zinc-plated steel, hardened steel bearings, and bronze inserts, our rod end bearings boast exceptional durability, wear resistance, and corrosion protection, guaranteeing a long and reliable service life. They find diverse applications across various industries, including machinery, vehicles, and robotics, seamlessly connecting swiveling parts. They require minimal maintenance, eliminating the need for frequent lubrication and reducing overall costs.
