SRG rod end bearings take high forces in normal ambient temperatures, have excellent dampening properties and weigh only a fifth of the conventional metallic bearing housing. 

In particular cases the load carrying capacity of the rod end bearings should be checked in a practical trial especially with high constant loads and at higher temperatures. 

Rotary motions of the mounted shaft take place directly in the bearing ball made of iglidur? W300. The advantage of this plastic/steel plain bearing is that high speeds can be achieved in dry operation. Taking the radial loads into account, maximum surface speeds up to 0.5 m/s rotating can be attained. The maintenance-free igubal? rod end bearings casually permit linear and oscillating movements of the shaft. 

The dimensional series K and partly E are moreover available in inch dimensions and – as special version – with a stainless steel sleeve in the spherical ball. Thereby an essentially higher tightening torque is possible than with the plastic spherical ball. Please ask us for other sizes.igubal rod end bearings can be used, according to the application, with different tolerances. They are designed with a large clearance in the standard product, which enables a secure operation even under high peripheral speeds. The bore of the inner ring has a tolerance according to E10. The shafts should have a tolerance between h6 and h9. Please contact us in case you require lower or more bearing tolerances. 

Used in aircraft components, such as wing flaps, engine and wing mounts and hatches, rod-end spherical bearings function as joints. These bearings are also used extensively in helicopters, trains, automobiles, electric power plant, construction machinery, ships, attraction equipment and space-related products.Aircraft applications demand fag bearings that deliver exceptional durability, ensuring consistently superior performance despite changes in temperature and air pressure. Accordingly the aerospace industry imposes stringent standards. We have obtained MIL standard and certification from main commercial aircraft manufacturers in Japan, U.S.A. and Europe.

SRG is one of the leading manufacturers of rod-end and spherical bearings for the aerospace industry, as well as for industrial applications. The bearings are produced in the USA, Japan and other countries. In Europe, our subsidiary "NMB Minebea UK, Ltd." (based in Lincoln, England) develops and manufactures bearings for high-level applications. Using computer-supported CAD testing and production systems, our engineers not only develop standard bearings, but also extremely complex bearing systems in accordance with customer requirements.

Our products are used in high-level customer-specific applications, e.g. in civilian and military aircraft construction for wing flaps and landing gear. We possess all the required current international permits, approvals and licenses for this sector. Furthermore, our rod-end koyo bearings are used in high-speed trains and light rail transit, as well as in a broad range of other industrial projects. 

Moreover, we also supply prominent Formula 1 racing teams and renowned vehicle manufacturers in the automotive industry, areas where the performance and reliability of our products have to be guaranteed at all times, even under extreme operating conditions.In addition, we offer special fasteners for the aerospace industry. The rod end bearing is made up of a maintenance-free spherical-plain radial bearing and rod body.The rod ends are widely used in engineering hydraulic cylinder, Metal Forming Machine, construction machinery, automation equipment, automotive shock absorbers, hydraulic machinery [rod end bearings] and other industries.
