BRRODF-CM3 is a right-hand threaded, two-piece female rod end with a 0.1900 in. bore, designed for metal-to-metal articulation in commercial applications. It features a 0.234 in. ball diameter, a 0.625 in. housing width, a 1.062 in. head length, and a #10-32 thread size. The static radial load rating is 2100 lbs. The body is constructed from 52100 steel with a hard chrome-plated ball and low-carbon steel housing, zinc plated and chromate treated. The part has a 17° misalignment angle, 0.437 in. ball to center length, and a 0.406 in. wrench flats diameter. Optional grease fittings (add "G") or self-lubricating liners (add "T") are available for modified variants.
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.
