Male Rod End Bearings

Check out the stocks of mini bike male rod end bearings at OMB Warehouse, all sourced from top brands and manufacturers and good as OEM replacement parts. Mini bike male rod end bearings are used to connect the ends of control rods, steering links and other tie rods used for mechanical control. A rod end provides an effective point-to-point contact with the center of rotation lying on the axis of both attached shafts. This simplifies kinematic design and provides rigid mechanisms which do not subject control rods to bending moments. For mechanisms where the axes of both rods will remain mutually perpendicular and actuation will only cause rotation one of these axes, a clevis may be used. The advantage of a rod end is in allowing three-axis rotations between the components. Rod ends normally have a plane hole passing through the center of the spherical joint and a protrusion from the casing surrounding the spherical joint. The protrusion may be a typically threaded shaft, in which case the rod end may be described as Mini bike male rod end bearings. Alternatively, the protrusion may be a rod containing a tapped hole, this may be described as a ‘female’ rod end.
