In addition to ball and roller bearings also produces a comprehensive range of spherical plain bearings and rod ends and has a choice of materials for plain and flanged bushings as well as thrust washers.
Spherical plain bearings and rod ends are produced in various designs and with various combinations of sliding contact surfaces. Each design and combination has characteristic properties which make it particularly suitable for certain applications.
To select a certain bearing type and to establish the requisite bearing size, the main factors which have to be considered are the loads, the load carrying capacity of the bearing and the expected service life. The same is true when selecting a rod end.
