Product Overview: The POS 6 Male Rod End Bearing
The POS 6 is a high-performance male rod end bearing, featuring a 6mm bore and a right-hand male thread. As a key component in our Rod End Bearings collection, this heim joint is engineered to provide reliable articulation in a wide range of mechanical linkages. Its primary function is to connect control rods, levers, and shafts, while accommodating angular misalignment. The POS 6 is constructed with a durable housing and an integrated spherical plain bearing, ensuring smooth, low-friction oscillating movement.
This versatile component, part of our Male Thread series, is essential for creating precise and durable motion control systems. Whether for industrial automation, automotive applications, or agricultural machinery, the POS 6 offers a compact and efficient solution for transferring motion and force. Its standardized dimensions make it an easy-to-integrate part for both new designs and replacement needs.
Key Features of the POS 6 Rod End
- Male Threaded Shank: Features a standard M6 right-hand thread for secure and straightforward mounting into female-threaded components.
- Misalignment Compensation: The integrated spherical plain bearing allows for angular misalignment, reducing stress on connected parts and preventing binding.
- High-Strength Housing: Manufactured from quality steel to withstand radial and combined loads, ensuring long-term durability.
- Smooth Articulation: Designed for low-friction pivoting and oscillating movements, enhancing the efficiency of mechanical systems.
- Compact Design: Offers a high load-to-size ratio, making it ideal for applications where space is limited.
- Maintenance-Type Design: Typically requires periodic lubrication to ensure optimal performance and extend service life in demanding conditions.
