These rod ends and spherical bushings are ideal for linkage applications where a bearing must accommodate severe misalignment. Available with self-lubricating or metal-to metal-inserts, spherical bushings can accommodate heavy radial loads and bi-directional loads simultaneously.

The 52100 steel balls in the COM/COMH series are chrome plated for increased hardness, wear, and corrosion resistance, while providing a decreased coefficient of friction. They are also heat treated for additional wear resistance.

The race is constructed of low-carbon steel and is oil-coated for to protect it from corrosion.

PTFE liners are also available for additional lubrication, offered in both inch and metric styles.
