The steel-on-steel rod ends comprise a rod end and a steel-on-steel spherical plain bearing of series GE…E, GE…ES, GEG…E and GEG…ES or a rod end and a spherical plain bearing inner ring. The bearings are held in position in the housing bore axially either by staking or by a retaining ring at both sides. Rod end of series SI(A) …E and SI(A) …ES is made of carbon steel, zinc coated to protect against corrosion. Rod end of series SI(A)ZJ… is made of carbon steel, zinc coated to protect against corrosion, inner ring of carbon chromium steel, hardened, sliding surface treated with chromium plating. Rod end of series SIGEW…ES,SIR…ES and SIQ…ES are available up to a nominal size of 50 mm made from carbon steel and as of nominal size 60 mm from spherical graphite cast iron or cast steel, with slot in the shank and can be clamped firmly by two hexagon socket screws. Rod end of series SK…ES and SF…ES is made of weldable steel, to facilitate centring rods of series SK…ES and series SK…ES on other components, they are provided with a dowel pin. All the steel-on-steel rod ends can be relubricated via a nipple or a hole in the rod end. The steel-on-bronze rod ends comprise a rod end a spherical plain bearing inner ring and bronze liner, Rod end is made of carbon steel, zinc coated to protect against corrosion; inner ring of carbon chromium steel, hardened, sliding surface treated with chromium plating. The steel-on-bronze rod ends can be relubricated via a nipple or a hole in the rod end. The steel-on PTFE composite material rod ends comprise a rod end and a steel-on PTFE composite material spherical plain bearing. The bearings are held in position in the housing bore axially bu staking at both sides. Rod end is made of carbon steel, zinc coated to protect against corrosion, inner ring of carbon chromium steel, hardened, sliding surface treated with chromium plating. Rod ends of series SI(A) …C comprise a rod end and a steel-on-PTFE composite material spherical plain bearing of series GE…C, outer ring of series SI(A)JK…and SI(A)K…C is made of brass. The steel-on-PFTE fabric rod ends comprise a rod end and a steel-on-PFTE fabric spherical plain bearing of series GE…ET-2RS.The bearings are held in position in the housing bore axially by staking at both sides. Rod end is made of carbon steel. Zinc coated to protect against corrosion. Permissible operating temperature range: the steel-on-PFTE fabric rod ends can be used at temperature-50°C +150°C, the rod ends with seals can be used at temperature -30°C +130°C. At higher temperature, the load carrying capacity will be reduced.
