Rod ends are used in controlling and linking mechanisms in all types of machines. Suitable for high load, low speed applications with hanging angles, requiring linear, rotational or oscillatory motions. The external ring is made of a special oil impregnated bronze material which makes these rod ends self-lubricating, maintenance-free, and guaranteed lowest friction. In addition, these joints have less increase of clearance after longer operating hours than rod ends with PTFE-surface outer races, and therefore higher life expectancy. Operating temperature: -35?C (-30?F) to 150?C (300?F).
