Aerospace series. Rod end, adjustable, with self-aligning double row ball bearing and threaded shank, in corrosion resisting steel, reduced internal radial clearance. Dimensions and loads
This document specifies the characteristics of adjustable rod ends with self-aligning double row ball bearing with reduced internal radial clearance and threaded shank in corrosion resisting steel, designed to withstand only slow rotations and oscillations under load.
They consist of:
a rod end comprising:
circumferential groove to identify location;
either seals or shields;
an optional longitudinal groove for locking purpose;
an inner ring with balls.
These rod ends are intended for use with flight control rods or rods for aerospace structures.
They are intended to be used in the temperature range: ?54 °C to 150 °C.
However, being lubricated with the following greases:
very high pressure grease, ester type (code A), operational range ?73 °C to 121 °C; or
very high pressure grease, synthetic hydrocarbons, general purpose (code B), operational range ?54 °C to 177 °C (see EN 2067 );
their field of application when lubricated with code A grease is limited to 121 °C.
