Corrosion resistant rod ends

The Elges range of rod ends is made from alloy steel and comprises a housing with internal or external threaded stem (spigot) and a maintenance-free spherical plain bearing. The housing and stem conform to DIN ISO 12 240-4, dimension series K and have a radial spherical plain bearing and a right or left hand internal or external thread. The rod ends are suitable for pneumatic systems, control and automation equipment, as well as machines destined for the food and beverage processing sector, abattoirs, chemicals, medical, aerospace and shipbuilding. The rod ends are available with diameters from 5 to 30mm. The housing and stem are manufactured to DIN 13 and the bore tolerance of the spherical plain bearings is H7. The rod ends can be used in operating temperatures from –10 to 80°C. Typically, X105CrMo17 (material number 1.4125) corrosion- resistant steel is used for the inner ring of the rod ends. For the outer ring and housing, either X8CrNiS18-9 (material number 1.4305) or X5CrNi18-10 (material number 1.4301) is used.
