Rod Ends
Rod Ends Rod ends have a lollipop-like geometry. The shaft typically has an external or internal thread and the head contains an integrated spherical or rolling bearing. Materials often used are corrosion-resistant steel grades, titanium, nickel alloys or more rarely, aluminum. The bearings to be used can either be pressed into the rod end with a mounting groove (bearing), or the rod ends already include an integrated spherical or rolling bearing (integrated bearing). Application areas are usually applications where it is difficult to provide a housing for certain bearings. Known specifications include, for example, EN 4036 or AS 81935/1.
