Thrust-Rated Swivel Joints
A unique design allows these joints to support heavy one-direction thrust loads as well as combined radial/thrust loads. Also known as spherical bearings, you can press them into tight spots where a rod end shank won’t fit or mount them in a drilled hole or a rod end blank.
Lubricate these joints with any type of bearing grease when you install them. Apply the grease to the exposed surface of the ball, then rotate the ball to work the grease into the races. You’ll need to reapply grease regularly.
