Overview

Boston Gear rod ends and spherical bearings are intended for applications using linkages where a bearing must accommodate significant misalignment under heavy radial or thrust loads involving slow rotation or oscillation.

Our spherical bearings are normally mounted in a pre-designed housing, while the rod ends are provided in a housing that is attached to the linkage by the integral thread. Rod ends are available in both left and right hand - as well as male and female thread designs for exceptional versatility.


Features and Benefits

  • Our rod ends and spherical bearings handle misalignment while transmitting motion for the smoothest operation possible.
  • They are plated for corrosion resistance to promote longer life.
  • Available in both left and right hand threads, as well as male and female threads, these rod ends and spherical bearings accommodate a variety of design configurations.
  • Self-lubricating liners and lubricators are available for greater maintenance convenience.
  • Spherical bearings have a lubrication groove on the OD of the bearing for increased durability and efficiency.
  • Light- to extra-capacity duty models mean a solution for every need.

Sample Applications

  • Textile equipment
  • Agricultural implements
  • Off-highway vehicles
  • Tensioning systems
  • Military equipment
