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.
