The rod end joint bearing is installed the same as the ordinary bearing, the inner ring or the outer ring is fixed, and the circlip or the shaft card is used. The bearing capacity of the spherical plain bearing is very high, and it is not sensitive to concentricity, but because it belongs to the bearing steel contact surface sliding bearing, the heat resistance, wear resistance and lubricity are not very good, and it is suitable for low speed transmission.

When installing rod ends, a press is generally used, but if there is a lack of equipment, the same can be done, as long as an assembly sleeve and a small hammer are used. Use a small hammer to evenly transmit the hammering force to the entire circumference of the end face of the device ferrule, and at this time, the assembled sleeve will also become spherical due to the action of the hammer.

How much force should be applied in the installation depends on the size of the spherical plain bearing and the size of the interference fit. If it is a medium-sized or large spherical plain bearing with a large interference, the method of shrinkage should be used. As long as the rod end joint bearing is put into the fuel tank before the hot-loading, it will be heated evenly by a special heater, and try to keep it between 80 and 100 degrees.

Then take out the bearing, wipe off the oil stains and attachments on its surface with a clean cloth, and then push the spherical plain bearing to the place against the shaft shoulder. The bearing will gradually cool down. During this process, the medicine is always kept in a tight state, or the spherical plain bearing is tapped with a small hammer through the assembly sleeve to make it close. Another point to keep in mind is that the installation requires a little rotation of the rod end, mainly to avoid some failures.

Since the outer ring of the rod end joint bearing and the shell hole can also be heated and installed into the joint bearing when the outer ring of the rod end is tightly fitted, it is easy to cause damage to the mating surface in this case, so the rod end joint bearing should be heated. prevent affecting component performance.

The above is about the installation steps and precautions of the rod end joint bearing. After everyone understands, you can actually operate it to deepen your impression.RLB is engaged in design and manufacture of different series of rod ends,feel free to contact us.
