Features and Applications of the Rod End Joint bearings

The spherical plain bearings is a kind of spherical bearings, sliding surfaces of which are divided into inner surfaces and outer spherical surfaces. Furthermore, both the inner surfaces and the outer surfaces are spherical surfaces. The spherical plain bearing is special because it can rotate and swing at any angle during movement after a variety of special processes such as blasting, inlaying, and spraying for the surface. What is more, the rod end joint bearing with the spherical surfaces has the characteristics of a large capacity of load. Also, it has huge resistance against impact. What is more, it has good resistance against corrosion, wear as well. Last but not the least, it is self-aligning and self-lubricated.

 

 

Introduction of the Rod End Joint Bearing

The structure of a knuckle bearing is simpler than a rolling bearing. It is mainly composed of an inner ring with outer surface and an outer ring with inner spherical surface, both of which are spherical surfaces. The knuckle bearing are generally used for oscillating motion at low speed. Because the sliding surface of the spherical bearings is spherical, it can also perform tilting motion within a certain range of angle. What is importance of the rod end joint beading is that it can still work normally when the non-concentricity between the supporting bearing and the axle housing is pretty high.

 

 

Features of the Rod End Joint Bearing

First of all, the spherical plain shaft bearing can withstand larger loads than other types of bearings. According to different structures of the spherical bearings, it can withstand the force coming from radial load, axial load or combined load. Due to the composite material inlaid on the outer surface which is spherical of the inner ring, the rod end joint bearing can be self-lubricated during operation. Therefore, it is generally used for swing motion and rotation at low speed and it can also perform tilting motion within a certain range of angle. Such bearings can be in industries such as water conservancy and the industry of professional machinery.

 

 

Application of the Rod End Joint Bearing

Joint bearings are widely used in industry such as engineering, hydraulic machinery and other industries. As we have said, the rod end joint bearing is composed of an inner ring with outer surface and an outer ring with inner spherical surface, both of which are spherical surfaces. Furthermore, according to unique structures of the rod end joint bearing, it can withstand the force coming from radial load, axial load or combined load.

 

Both of the contact are of the sliding surface and the inclination angle are large. At the same time, special methods are used in the processing of the joint bearing such as galvanizing, spraying and so on. As a result, the spherical plain bearing with the spherical surfaces has the characteristics of a large capacity of load. Secondly, it also has huge resistance against impact, corrosion and so on.

 

Specially, the spherical plain shaft bearing can work normally even if the installation is misplaced. Therefore, the joint bearings are widely used for oscillating motion, tilting motion and rotary motion at low speed.
