Rod end bearings from Emerson rank among the industry’s most rugged and reliable options. With a light, compact, and cost-effective design, these products are easy to mount and adjust in linkages, control rods, and mechanisms.

Our heavy-duty female thread rod ends are excellent for shock loads and multiple other applications. Utilized by a number of industries, including military, aerospace, and automotive, the BRF Series Heavy Duty Metric Rod Ends offer medium to heavy load carrying capacities.

Available with rolling elements, these rod ends are designed with self-aligning integral ball bearings, allowing them to work at medium and high speeds alike. We offer right hand and left hand thread designs in all different dimensions. Right hand rod ends range from 6 mm by 30 mm through 30 mm by 110 mm. Left hand models are available at 6 mm by 30 mm all the way to 30 mm by 110 mm.

In addition to our BRF line, we also offer a number of different rod ends and spherical bushings to fulfill your exact application requirements and specifications. For further information about this or any of our other products, contact us directly.
