Rod Ends and
Spherical Plain Bearings
FLURO-Gelenklager GmbH
Introduction
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 consists of Spherical Plain Bearings in all Series (DIN ISO 12240-1) and Rod
Ends Series K and E (DIN ISO 12240-4), as well as Hydraulic Rod Ends with weld-on surface or female thread
fixable with hexagon socket head cap screws. As new products in this catalogue are Thrust Bearings and Angular
Contact Spherical Plain Bearings. To supplement the product range Angle Joints, Fork Heads, Locking Nuts and
Rubber Seals have been added.
Where bearings with standard dimensions cannot be used, parts to customer designs are manufactured.
Alternatively we can develop solutions for special applications. A small selection of these parts may be seen on the
last pages of this catalogue. Our premium trained engineering and quality guarantee staff is pleased to offer advise
on any application demand.
With high standard machinery we are able to turn, grind and mill parts with the highest precision. A list of our machining
capabilities is available on request.
We have been approved for quality assurance to DIN EN ISO 9001 since June 1997.
Our sales staff is happy to assist you with any inquiry.
Just recently our industrial unit was enlarged and modernized. This meant advanced improvements to our logistics
and an enlarged stock of products for faster delivery response.

Thread, Pivoting Angle
Threads
Manufactured to standard metric ISO DIN 13 threads. To increase the stability for all standard Rod Ends with
male threads, the threads are rolled.
Because of the process procedure of zinc plating, it can not be guaranteed that the zinc layer will reach
completely into the thread bore of the female rod ends with its complete zinc layer thickness.
Maximum Pivoting Angle
The permissible maximum Pivoting Angle (see picture 3, page 15) ranges between 6° and 35° depending on the
series and constructional design.

Installation instructions:
Attention: No tolerance or play can be allowed for the shaft when incorporated in the Ball or the Outer Ring when
incorporated in a housing. Through this it is guaranteed that the glide movement arises on the nodular
gliding surface only.
When mounting extra precaution has to be taken that the press force does not damage the bearing. The press
force should not be initiated via the bearing itself. Thermal installation will reduce the necessary press force.
Axial locking of Spherical Plain Bearings:
When under high static or dynamic axial load, vibration, impacting load changes or high pivoting angles Spherical
Plain Bearings have to be locked axially.
Possible locking methods:

- locking through several puncher points
- caulking of bearing on the housing through a flanging groove
- with locking snap rings
- clamped with bushings on the facing surface of the Insert
11
Internal Clearance
Internal Clearance is defined as the radial and axial movement of the ball in the housing or outer ring. Internal
Clearance is measured in the non-lubricated state.
The radial clearances listed in the table below have been established with a load of 100N.

Lubrication Temperature Material
Lubrication
Maintenance Free Rod Ends and Spherical Plain Bearings must not be lubricated. The ball revolves on a PTFE
liner incorporated in the housing.
Rod Ends with Steel running on special Brass, or with Steel running on Bronze, and Steel on Steel require regular
lubrication. The first time lubrication has to be carried out when the part is mounted. The regreasing interval
depends on the impacting influences, such as ambient conditions (temperature, dust, etc.) and the mechanical
impacts given through the application (surface pressure, number of alternation stress, pivoting angle, gliding speed,
etc.).
For the lubrication of Spherical Plain Bearings up to a temperature of +110° Celsius, (+230° Fahrenheit) white paste,
such as Gleitmo 805k, is recommended. For higher temperatures from +110° to +220° Celsius, (+230° to +428°)
Fahrenheit we recommend high temperature grease, such as Notropeen EHT2.
Regreaseable Rod Ends Series K are lubricated by means of a grease nipple to DIN 3405.
For Steel on Steel Rod Ends Series E from size 20 hydraulic grease nipples to DIN 71412 are incorporated.

Re 2:
When the existing force affecting the bearing is a
static load, it can be used as is for a comparison. When
it is a dynamic load, it can be calculated by using
formula (2), (3) or (4).
When a Rod End is mounted with a locking nut or
retransfer with two nuts, the additional tensile stress at
the male thread or the connecting rod has to be taken
into consideration.
However the static or dynamic load must always be
smaller than the maximum permitted load, which is
calculated from the static load rating Co using formula Picture 5: Oscillating angle ß relative to crank rotation

Calculation Examples
1. Example:
In a paper machine used for manufacturing writing pads a rod end with female thread is used.
The dimensions of the components in the machine require size 16, and the following values are also given:
Variable radial load through Fr = ± 2 kN; No axial load

1. Initial selection of Rod End

a) Type of Rod Ends Series GI, GIS, GIXS, GIRS, GIO can be used when relubricating.
Bearing However, the following have to be excluded
- GIO, because it cannot be lubricated and only moderate movements are possible.
- GIRS, a stainless steel type is unneccessary as the working environment is not corrosive.
So we can choose from female rod end types GI, GIS, GIXS.
b) Size The required diameter of the ball is 16 mm and the following values for GIS can be ascertained
from the brochure on pages 17 and 22.

6. Final selection
Following steps 1b to 5. - the calulations for rod ends GI 16 and GIXS 16 can be checked.
When making a decision on the bearing to use, design, application and price have to be
taken into consideration for each type.

Calculation Examples
2. Example:
In a mechanical handling facility multi-directional radial loads are applied to the rod end. These loads are the same
as shown in illustration 4, page 15. Four separate loads Fr, i with the four appropriate time components have been
substituted as shown below:
Fr1 = 2 kN, t1 = 50%; Fr2 = 4 kN, t2 = 16%; Fr3 = 2,4 kN, t3 = 24%; Fr4 = 1 kN, t4 = 10%;
Additionally the rod end is subjected to a constant axial load Fa = 0,65 kN
Further operating conditions: max. angle ß = 30º; oscillation frequency f = 60/min.; max. temperature 70ºC
1. Initial selection of Rod End
a) Type of As regular lubrication is not possible due to poor accessibility a maintenance free type must be
bearing used. Rod Ends GASW, GAXSW, GARSW, GAOW could be suitable, but the following series
have to be ruled out.
- GAOW - these Rod Ends are only suitable for restricted movement.
- GARSW - because the working environment is not corrosive.
This leaves the size of the male thread version of type GASW to be established.

For use in marine

applications and high
Standard Series in sizes 6 to 35 mm:

Version: maintenance free, female or male thread, right or left hand thread
dimensions identical with data sheets on pages 32, 33 and 47
Materials:
Housing: stainless steel to 1.4057, Aisi 431 forged, polished

Insert: stainless steel to 1.4571, Aisi 316Ti with PTFE liner with stainless steel fabric
Ball: stainless steel to 1.4401, Aisi 316 ground, polished
Explanation: The high strength housing combined with high corrosion resistance enables the usage for a
variety of applications.
Likewise with other stainless steel material, depending on the substances causing corrosion the
danger of corrosion still exists, e.g. galvanic corrosion (bimetallic or contact corrosion),
crack corrossion, opening corossion, stress crack corrosion etc.
To achieve a higher corrosion protection the following constructional measures are to be observed:
- protection against substances causing corrosion: RERS or RELS seals, FLURO® catalogue page 74
- prevent uncontrollable current, e.g. leakage current
- cathodic corrosion protection, e.g. sacrificial anode
- avoid cracks (crack corrosion)
- connecting components and material of corresponding material, no potential difference
On request: For applications with highest corrosion protection and on request FLURO® can offer Rod Ends and
Spherical Plain Bearings to DIN or to customer specifications to all common materials
e.g. stainless steel to 1.4542 (17-4Ph), 1.4462, 1.4539, 2.4856 (INCONEL Alloy 625), bronze,
Alu bronze, Titanium, just to list a few.
