This rod end transmits axial and radial loads through a spherical plain bearing with a steel/bronze sliding contact surface, connected via an external right-hand thread. Built to DIN ISO 12240-4, dimension series K, type M, open design, it has a net mass of 0.23 kg and no sealing, which means the sliding surface stays accessible for maintenance. Because the design requires maintenance, regular relubrication of the steel/bronze contact surface is necessary to keep friction and wear low. The open, unsealed construction allows visual inspection of the sliding contact and suits applications where the joint can be reached for periodic lubrication and where the right-hand external thread permits direct screw-in mounting into a mating component.
