Rod ends help you achieve precisely controlled motion in articulating mechanisms without misalignment or damaging deflections. They feature uniform clearance between sliding surfaces to allow better tilting, oscillation, low-torque rotation and smooth power transmission and provide excellent wear resistance.
L-Ball Rod Ends
L-Balls are self-aligning rod ends that enable tilting, oscillation, low-torque rotation and smooth power transmission in a wide range of automated equipment.
- L-Balls are made from durable, die-cast zinc with studded balls set at a right angle to the body.
- Uniform clearance between sliding surfaces enables smooth motion.
- This economical bearing option is well-suited for automobiles, construction and agricultural equipment, and packaging machinery.
- Superior wear resistance provides stable accuracy for extended periods.
- Designed for easy maintenance.
- Two rod end types are available.
- Optional synthetic rubber dust covers protect your L-Ball rod ends from dust, oil and ozone while preventing grease leakage.
PILLOBALL Rod Ends
PILLOBALL self-aligning rod ends can be used as link mechanisms in a variety of machines and are designed for easy installation.
- Available with either a female thread in the body or a male thread on the body.
- Each PILLOBALL rod end type achieves smooth rotational and oscillatory motion while providing excellent wear and loading capabilities.
- Insert-type PILLOBALLS are designed with a special copper alloy bushing to provide effective run-in properties.
- Die-cast type PILLOBALLS’ spherical inner ring makes direct contact with the bore surface of a special zinc die-cast alloy body.
- Maintenance-free type PILLOBALLS come with a special PTFE liner and are especially suitable for loading in one direction.
