Rod End Bearings

 

          Custom rod end bearings from SRG BEARINGS are the choice of engineers dealing with unique geometries and dimensional constraints. SRG BEARINGS customizes rod ends to hold heavier loads, operate at temperature extremes, provide stronger fatigue esistance and meet requirements for angular misalignment. We also offer ball bearing rod ends for low friction, low backlash applications.

 

          For both custom and standard applications, we understand the importance of choosing materials to match your operating environment. Our stainless steel cadmium-free rod ends are the industry’s first to meet ACBG standards AS81935/6, /7, /8 and /9, offering equivalent dimensions and performance to cadmium-plated rod ends without the potential risks and regulatory burdens—including European Union environmental regulations—associated with cadmium.

 

         Our rod end bearings come in either metal-to-metal or self-lubricating TEFLON®-lined versions. Metals include cadmium-free stainless steel, titanium, Inconel® 718 (a nickel-chromium based super-alloy for high-temperature applications), and Stellite™ (cobalt and nickel-based alloys).

 

        Spherical roller bearings, manufactured by NMB’s facility in Karuizawa, Japan, are also available through SRG BEARINGS. Contact the Astro Division for more information.

          Rod End Bearings offered as self-lubricating with TFE liners for reduced friction. Also can be supplied as metal to metal types. They are recommended for applications requiring considerable oscillation and misalignment under very heavy loads and where frequent lubrication is undesirable or impossible.

 

          Suited for hydraulic actuators, many aircraft landing gear door applications, vibration dampening devices, hinge and actuation link bearings for control surfaces, sliding guide bearings for flaps and leading edge slats, and power control system drive link bearings. Many others not mentioned. Numerous options available for special applications based on specific conditions, such as temperature, load, misalignment and load strength factors.
