The BRFSFGM080 is a right-hand threaded, four-piece metal-to-metal female rod end with an 8 mm bore, designed for articulated load transmission. It features a chrome steel ball body insert and a carbon steel housing coated for corrosion resistance. The part has an overall length of 47 mm, a ball housing width of 12 mm, and a ball head diameter of 15.88 mm. Maximum static load capacity is 9800 N. It is metric-threaded with a nominal thread size of M8 x 1.25, and includes 13 mm flats on the housing. The part does not include a grease fitting by default.
A bearing is a device that reduces friction between moving components by preventing metal-to-metal contact while assisting components (shafts, axles, and wheels) to freely rotate around a fixed axis, cutting down on heat generation and the amount of energy that is consumed. By replacing sliding motion with low-friction rolling motion, the life of the rotating components is increased. A bearing also keeps the shaft in the proper position, providing support and alignment and transferring the axial or radial loads to the housing.
The types of bearings that we offer include rolling element bearings, which consist of both ball bearings and roller bearings.
Balls are utilized as the rolling element in ball bearings; a retainer holds the balls in place and allows them to freely rotate. The balls are kept inside channels cut in both the inner and outer races. Because there is no surface contact between the balls and races, precision ball bearings have a lower load capacity for their size than other bearings.
