Products
Rod End Bearings / Ball Joints
Rod end bearings, also known as ball joints, provide smooth articulation and precise movement in mechanical linkages. Designed to handle both radial and axial loads, they are ideal for applications where components must pivot, rotate, or align under varying angles. Robust and reliable, these bearings ensure long service life even in demanding environments.
Clevises are versatile mechanical connectors that link rods, pins, or other components in machinery. They allow for secure attachment while permitting controlled pivoting motion, making them essential for adjustable linkages in industrial and automotive applications.
Clevis pins are precision-engineered fasteners used in conjunction with clevises to create secure, pivoting connections. Available in various sizes and materials, they provide reliable performance and can be easily installed or replaced for maintenance, ensuring your linkages stay functional and safe.
Gaiter seal spacers protect moving components by maintaining alignment and preventing dirt, dust, and moisture from entering critical joints. They help extend the lifespan of bearings and linkages while reducing maintenance needs, making them a simple but vital addition to your assemblies.
Rod ends are compact mechanical joints that combine a bearing with a threaded shaft, providing adjustable and precise connections in linkages. Available in various load capacities and materials, they deliver dependable performance in industrial, automotive, and engineering applications.
Spherical bearings are designed to accommodate angular misalignment in rotating shafts or mechanical linkages. By allowing controlled movement in multiple directions, they reduce stress on components, improve load distribution, and enhance overall system durability, even in heavy-duty or high-vibration environments.
