Product Overview: The POS 14 Male Rod End Bearing
The POS 14 is a high-quality male rod end bearing, featuring a 14mm bore diameter and an M14 male thread. As a crucial component in our Rod End Bearings collection, it is engineered to connect shafts, rods, and linkages, effectively accommodating misalignment and facilitating pivoting or oscillating movements. Also known as a heim joint, the POS 14 integrates a spherical plain bearing within a threaded housing, creating a compact and robust articulated joint. Its male thread design allows for simple and secure external mounting into various mechanical systems.
This component is essential for applications requiring precise motion transfer and compensation for angular deviations. Manufactured from durable materials, the POS 14 ensures reliable, low-friction performance in demanding industrial, automotive, and automation environments.
