Maintenance-free - Import export

Our rod ends in the best quality for you We manufacture rod ends in various designs for you. You can order these in our online shop in the desired dimensions and with individual adjustments. We will also be happy to supply you with other unique designs at short notice on request. Convince yourself of our more than 40 years of experience in plain bearing technology! Rod ends consist of a housing and a built-in spherical plain bearing. The housing of a screwable rod end has an external or internal thread. Rod ends are particularly suitable for use in linkage and lever connections. In our product range, you will find both maintenance-free and maintenance-bound rod ends. Our special hydraulic rod ends are available either for bolting on or for welding on. Our rod ends are suitable for high static loads. The maintenance-required rod ends can withstand changing loads and impact loads permanently without any problems, while maintenance-free models can only do this to a limited extent.

Spherical plain bearings are machine elements that can be installed immediately and are produced according to a specific standard. Since they are plain bearings, there is sliding contact between the inner and outer ring. Spherical plain bearings are ideal for rotary, tilting and swivelling movements and are insensitive to shocks, impacts and vibrations. This makes them extremely popular for load-bearing and guiding functions. You will find both maintenance-free and maintenance-required spherical plain bearings in our product range. Our maintenance-free spherical plain bearings comply with DIN ISO 12240-1, dimensional series E/G. The sliding pairing consists of a hard chrome/PTFE composite. The bearings themselves are manufactured with the tolerance group CN. These are also available in sealed versions. If you require additional dimensions or unique designs, please let us know in an enquiry form, and we will supply you with the desired product.
