Description:Cat® spherical rod ends are manufactured for long service life, minimal maintenance, and high operational reliability. Spherical rod ends provide a mechanical articulating joint that accommodates oscillation during slow rotation. These joints also accommodate misalignment between the rod end and the attached shaft. Spherical rod ends consist of an eye-shaped head with an integral shank that forms the housing for a spherical bearing. Bearings reduce friction and provide protection between mating parts. They are specifically designed for low to medium speed, high load applications with little to medium side thrust.Attributes:• Length: 57 mm (2.244 in)• Material: Steel• Thread Size: 1/2-20 UNF• Thread Length: 28.45 mm (1.120 in)• Pivot Angle: 24°• Large load capacity• Easy mounting and dismounting• Suitable for heavy static or alternate loads, and shock loadsApplication:Cat spherical rod ends are typically used in rod and linkage assemblies and control groups where strength and flexibility are crucial.
