Product Overview: The PHS 20 Female Rod End Bearing
The PHS 20 is a high-performance rod end bearing, commonly known as a heim joint, featuring a 20mm bore diameter and a female (internal) threaded shank. This component is an essential part of our Rod End Bearings collection, designed to create precise and articulating joints in a wide range of mechanical systems. It consists of a spherical plain bearing housed within a durable body, allowing for oscillating movements and accommodating angular misalignment between connected parts.
As a key supplier of industrial mechanical parts, we ensure our PHS 20 rod ends meet stringent industry standards for reliability and performance. They are engineered to handle both radial and axial loads, making them a versatile solution for transferring motion and force in linkages. For male-threaded applications, consider the complementary POS 20 rod end. Explore our full range of Female Thread rod ends to find the perfect component for your specific engineering requirements.
