Spherical Rod Ends
FREE Shipping on orders over $150
Industrial & Cable Group supplies spherical rod ends, also known as rod end bearings, Heim joints and Rose joints, for applications requiring controlled angular movement and reliable mechanical linkage.
A spherical rod end incorporates a spherical bearing within a threaded housing, allowing connected components to articulate while maintaining a secure connection. They are commonly used in steering systems, control linkages, push-pull cable systems, throttle controls, agricultural machinery, transport equipment, industrial machinery and other mechanical assemblies where movement and alignment are important.
Our range includes spherical rod ends in different materials, thread configurations and sizes to suit a wide range of applications. Depending on the application, options include high-strength Chrome Moly rod ends, corrosion-resistant Stainless Steel rod ends and steel housing rod ends with a nylon race.
Rod ends are available in male and female configurations, with imperial thread sizes across the range. When selecting a spherical rod end, consider the thread size and direction, male or female configuration, bore size, available space, operating environment, required articulation and the load the component must withstand.
Which Spherical Rod End Do I Need?
The material and bearing race are important when selecting a rod end. Chrome Moly rod ends are suited to applications where high strength and load capacity are important. Stainless Steel rod ends are a good choice where corrosion resistance is required, including demanding outdoor and marine environments. Steel housing rod ends with a nylon race are suited to lighter-duty linkage applications where smooth movement and reduced maintenance are priorities.
If you are replacing an existing rod end or are unsure which type or size is suitable, contact Industrial & Cable Group for assistance selecting the correct component for your application.
