Spherical Plain Bearings - Rod Ends

The rod end design supports pivoting within the housing to accommodate misalignment. Rod
ends feature an eye-shaped head on a shank.

Rod ends consist of an eye-shaped head with integral shank that
forms a housing for a spherical plain bearing. As a rule, rod ends are available with left- or right-hand
female (internal) or male (external) threads. SKF supplies rod ends with a threaded shank with a right-hand
thread as standard.
