Rod ends, spherical plain bearings and linear motion components for real machinery. Explore our own product series across different applications — with the same bearing family appearing wherever the design calls for it.
Explore Applications ↘
Tractors · Implements · Agricultural Linkages
Rod ends and spherical joints can connect steering, adjustment and implement mechanisms. Confirm pin/thread fit, articulation, shock loading, contamination and access for greasing. A threaded joint is not automatically interchangeable with another of the same nominal size.

66 BEARING FACTORY · OUR PRODUCT SERIESEarthmoving · Lifting Mechanisms · Articulated Machinery
High loads, shock and dirt make the actual joint design critical. Evaluate load direction, pin and housing fits, seal protection, lubrication, articulation and service access; verify suitability against approved engineering data.

66 BEARING FACTORY · OUR PRODUCT SERIESActuators · Guided Motion · Mechanical Linkages
Automation assemblies may need both linear guidance and angular joints. Select the linear bearing system by shaft or rail compatibility, alignment, speed and stroke; select rod ends by articulation, connection and load.

Cylinder Rod Connections · Oscillating Joints
For a cylinder end or articulated actuator, match the full connection drawing, bore/pin fit, thread, allowable angle, load case and lubrication. Bore diameter alone is insufficient for selecting a hydraulic rod end.

66 BEARING FACTORY · OUR PRODUCT SERIESAutomotive Linkages · Equipment Assemblies · Design-to-Drawing
Automotive linkage hardware, equipment assemblies and general machinery may use different ball-joint and rod-end designs. SQ / SQL / SQZ / SQZL ball-joint rod ends are options for specified control linkages and mechanical connections; check the drawing, connection geometry, movement angle, load, sealing and application requirements. Safety-critical steering or suspension parts require separate application-specific validation. Start from the motion type and mounting geometry, then check the load case, materials, lubrication, tolerances and quantity before specifying a replacement or custom part.

Selection depends on the drawing, thread and stud geometry, articulation angle, load and sealing requirements. Automotive steering and suspension safety-critical uses require separate validation for the specific application.
