Precision parts

Rod Ends and Spherical Plain Bearings are assembled machine parts to DIN ISO 12240 (former DIN 648), ready for installation. They are used to guarantee the unproblematic movement between shaft and housing, especially where the movement is not directly linear.

The FLURO^® production program includes Rod Ends and Spherical Plain Bearings Series E and K to DIN ISO 12240 (Spherical Plain Bearings DIN ISO 12240-1, Rod Ends DIN ISO 12240-4). For different application situations parts requiring lubrication or maintenance free versions are offered, as well as different materials are available.

Rod Ends and Spherical Plain Bearings guarantee the unproblematic function, even there, where they are exposed to a high or continuous load. The question which parts should be used and when they should be replaced is of importance.

As selection criteria, the application demand and the loads which are applied on the bearing, such as: tilting angle, strength, surface pressure, pull and push force, internal play, way of connection etc. are important. The more detailed the application and environmental conditions, such as temperature changes, vibration, contact with water, salt, acids etc. are specified, the more an unproblematic function can be guaranteeed. Determined are the condition, the optimal adjustment and the regular operation.

FLURO^® supports customers when deciding between maintenance free or regreasable Rod Ends, the choice of material and the surface treatment condition as well as presetting. The aim is to achieve the highest possible life and operation time.

In case Rod Ends and Spherical Plain Bearings with standard measurements can not be installed, we offer Special parts to customer design, or we offer our own design according to customer requirements and demand. Special parts according to customer requirements and in-house developments are designed on 3D CAD programs. Our technicians are available with their knowledge for complex projects for new plant types and create solution concepts.

All our products are available as 3D models for technical drawings under CADENAS.

For the production of high precision turned and milled parts we recommend the modern production plant of company Martin Höhn GmbH. On request we can send you their list of production machinery.
