Mounting And Installation Accessories
Rod End Bearings for Tension Use
Designed to align forces through the principle axis of the load cell thus reducing the effects of extraneous forces, hence offering improved performance from the cell. Rod End Bearings are used where tensile forces are being applied. Maintenance-free rod ends are a complete units made up of a housing with both an integral shank (with an internal or external thread) and a maintenance-free spherical plain bearing, located within the housing. Key Features:
- Supports radial loads in a tensile or compressive direction.
- Suitable for unilateral loads – can support alternating loads and alternating loads in combination with bearing GE..UK-2RS, consult sales.
- Stainless Steel for corrosion resistance.
- Are maintenance-free.
- Fitted with radial spherical plain bearings.
- PTFE composite sliding contact surfaces.
- Enables compact adjacent construction thanks to its thin-walled design of the eye housing.
