Keep your machinery moving smoothly with this rod end bearing from IMI Norgren. It's a mechanically articulating bearing joint designed to enable machine parts to move freely. A universal configuration makes it compatible with different hydraulic and pneumatic cylinders that have a 63mm bore diameter, such as this roundline one (220-4097). Because the rod end bearing is spherical, you can use it for linear, rotary and oscillating movements as part of your automation or mechanical control system.

• Broad operating temperature range of -20°C to +80°C suits harsh environments
• Light 330g weight won't tax your pneumatic system
• Standard M16 female thread for easy installation
• Measures just 21 (H) x 86 (L) x 42mm (W) to slot seamlessly into your setup

• Industrial automation control
• Automotive manufacturing
• Aerospace engineering

A rod end bearing features a ball that swivels inside an eye-shaped opening. Once a bolt or rod is passed through this opening, it's able to rotate freely without friction. Rod end bearings are commonly used in automotive steering systems for this reason.
