This VXB POS6 rod end bearing is made of chrome steel, has a male shank with right-hand 6 mm threads, and has a 6 mm bore inside diameter. This spherical rod end bearing is suitable for transferring motion between widely separated points. The chrome steel shank and bearing provide durability, resistance to deformity under heavy loads, and resistance to wear and corrosion. The bearing has a zerk-type grease fitting for lubrication in place. This spherical rod end bearing is for use in textile manufacturing equipment, agricultural machinery, and off-road vehicles, among others.
Rod end bearings, also called heim joints or spherical rod ends, are articulating joints that are attached to the ends of tie rods, steering links, and cylinders to provide a transfer of motion and force between two points. They consist of a spherical swivel with a cylindrical bore through which a bolt may pass pressed into a housing that has a threaded shank. Rod end bearings are used in applications such as steering linkages, agricultural machinery, and textile manufacturing equipment, among others.
