About Rod Ends

Swivel Joints

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.

Lubrication-Free Swivel Joints

A slippery PTFE liner reduces wear and eliminates the need for lubrication.

Lubrication-Free Corrosion-Resistant Swivel Joints

A slippery PTFE liner reduces wear and eliminates the need for lubrication.

Corrosion-Resistant Swivel Joints

Stronger than plastic models, these stainless steel swivel joints are also more corrosion resistant than steel joints.

Lightweight Swivel Joints

These nylon swivel joints are 80% lighter than steel swivel joints with better corrosion resistance.

Extended-Life Swivel Joints

Specially designed lubrication channels and integral seals allow these joints to last up to three times longer than other swivel joints.

Thrust-Rated Swivel Joints

A unique design allows these joints to support heavy one-direction thrust loads as well as combined radial/thrust loads.

Bearings

Panel-Mount Oil-Embedded Sleeve Bearings

Unlike other sleeve bearings, these do not need to be fully inserted into a housing. Their unique shape creates a permanent, secure hold in thin panels.

Self-Aligning Dry-Running Flanged Sleeve Bearings

Compensating for minor shaft misalignment and not requiring lubrication, these sleeve bearings swivel to self-align and are dry running. They don’t need a housing and you can install and replace them without any tools because they’re slip fit.

High-Speed Self-Aligning Dry-Running
Flanged Sleeve Bearings

Made of acetal with a PTFE filler, these bearings handle velocities up to twice as high as standard acetal bearings. They swivel to compensate for a small amount of shaft misalignment.

Dry-Running Mounted Sleeve
Bearings for Extreme Misalignment

These nylon bearings swivel inside their housing to compensate for over 20° of shaft misalignment.

High-Speed Dry-Running Mounted Sleeve Bearings

Made of acetal blended with PTFE, these bearings handle speeds twice as fast as standard sleeve bearings.

Light Duty Dry-Running Mounted
Sleeve Bearings with Two-Bolt Flange

Use these nylon or acetal bearings for light loads. The closed backing blocks out dust and other contaminants.
