Feature and application

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

SYX rod ends which require maintenance are available as standard with the sliding contact surface combinations steel-on-steel and steel-on-bronze. Both types of rod end require regular relubrication.

Steel-on-steel rod ends have sliding contact surfaces which are hardened, phosphated. They are very resistant to wear and therefore particularly suitable for applications where heavy loads of alternating direction have to be accommodated.

Steel-on-bronze rod ends have a hardened and chromium plated inner ring and a bronze outer ring. Their performance under conditions of lubricant starvation is therefore very good.
