4M-0495: 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 6 modified • Length: 34.9 mm (1.374 in) • Thread Size: 3/8-16 • Thread Length: 17.5 mm (0.689 in) • Bore Diameter: 9.525 mm (0.375 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.
