Boston Gear rod ends and spherical bearings are intended for applications using linkages where a bearing must accommodate significant misalignment under heavy radial or thrust loads involving slow rotation or oscillation.
Our spherical bearings are normally mounted in a pre-designed housing, while the rod ends are provided in a housing that is attached to the linkage by the integral thread. Rod ends are available in both left and right hand - as well as male and female thread designs for exceptional versatility.
Product Features
Capable of misalignment up to + or - 8 degrees
Our rod ends and spherical bearings handle misalignment while transmitting motion for the smoothest operation possible.
They are plated for corrosion resistance to promote longer life.
Available in both left and right hand threads, as well as male and female threads, these rod ends and spherical bearings accommodate a variety of design configurations.
Self-lubricating liners and lubricators are available for greater maintenance convenience.
Spherical bearings have a lubrication groove on the OD of the bearing for increased durability and efficiency.
Light- to extra-capacity duty models mean a solution for every need.
