8C-3111: Rod End-spherical

Description: Cat® spherical rod ends are manufactured for long service life, minimal maintenance, and high operational reliability. Spherical rod ends provide a mechanical articulating joint that accommodates oscillation during slow rotation. These joints also accommodate misalignment between the rod end and the attached shaft. Spherical rod ends consist of an eye-shaped head with an integral shank that forms the housing for a spherical bearing. Bearings reduce friction and provide protection between mating parts. They are specifically designed for low to medium speed, high load applications with little to medium side thrust. Attributes: • Size M6 • Length: 30 mm (1.181 in) • Thread Size: M6 • Thread Length: 11 mm (0.433 in) • Pivot Angle: 16° • Material: Steel • Large load capacity • Easy mounting and dismounting • Suitable for heavy static or alternate loads, and shock loads Application: Cat spherical rod ends are typically used in rod and linkage assemblies and control groups where strength and flexibility are crucial.
