    Sealed Bearing

    Also known as spherical bearings, swivel joints support angular misalignment. Press them into a hole or housing where a ball joint rod end won’t fit. They need to be lubricated when first installed and periodically after that. Apply any type of bearing grease to the ball, and rotate it to work it into the races.
    Sealed Bearing—Sealed joints keep grease in and contaminants out.

    Ball is heat treated for strength. Also known as spherical bearings, they support angular misalignment. Press them into a hole or housing where a ball joint rod end won’t fit. They don't come lubricated, so you'll need to lubricate during installation and on an ongoing basis.

    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.

    Specially designed lubrication channels and integral seals allow these joints to last up to three times longer than other swivel joints. Also known as spherical bearings, they support angular misalignment. Press into a hole or housing where a ball joint rod end won’t fit. All have seals to keep grease in and contaminants out. Joints come greased and can be lubricated through a hole in the housing without removing the load.
