Spherical plain bearings

Inner ring: Antifriction bearing steel, hardened, ground and polished.

Outer part: Steel, outer diameter ground.

Bearing shells: Brass lined with an antifriction film, consisting PTFE, cold formed around the inner ring.  Both shells have a male thread and are screwed into the outer part. In this way any required bearing clearance can be adjusted and then secured with the two vulcanized locknuts of the rubber bellows.

Rubber bellows: Synthetic rubber with vulcanized brass slip ring and steel locknut.

Bushings: Tempering steel, hardened, bore and outside diameter ground, pressed into the inner ring. They are only used as intake of the brass abrasive rings of the rubber bellows. Due to their low thickness they are not dedicated to transmit radial and axial forces into the spherical bearing.

Tolerances: Acc. to DIN ISO 12240-1, schedule K,  except: d = H10, B = +- 0,3.

Note: With these rod ends, it is important to ensure that the tilt angle specified in the table is not exceeded, either while mounting or during operation, otherwise the rubber bellows may be damaged.
