Rod End Bearings is mainly used on cylinder ends, linkages, rod and shafts to handle angular misalignment between connected parts. It consists of an spherically shaped inner ring and a cylindrical bore for shaft mounting. These bearings are attached 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. Rod end bearings differ in terms of dimensional specifications and special features. Dimensional specifications include design units, bore diameter, major diameter, bearing thickness, housing diameter, overall length, and thread length. 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.
