Rod End Bearing
Rod end bearing is a mechanical articulating joint. Such joints are used on the ends of control rods, steering links,tie rodsor anywhere a precision articulating joint is required, and where a clevis end which requires perfect 90-degree alignment between the attached shaft and the second component is unsuitable. A ball swivel with an opening through which a bolt or other attaching hardware may pass is pressed into a circular casing with a threaded shaft attached. The threaded portion may be either male or female. The heim joint's advantage is that the ball insert permits the rod or bolt passing through it to be misaligned to a limited degree ,an angle other than 90 degrees. A link terminated in two heim joints permits misalignment of their attached shafts
Metallic rod end bearings are made of brass, bronze, iron, or steel and often plated with zinc or chromium.
