Male plastic rod end bearings with a 14mm bore and M14 thread are maintenance-free, self-lubricating components designed to compensate for alignment errors and edge loads. The body is made of thermoplastic with a L280® polymer ball, operating from -40°C to +130°C. The bearing has a maximum pivot angle of 25°, a short-term radial load capacity of 698 N, a long-term radial load capacity of 347 N, and a maximum torque of 12.1 N·m. The part is non-reversible threaded and features a fixed length of 79 mm, with a shaft diameter range of 13.957 mm to 14.000 mm.
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.
