igubal® metal rod ends with male thread
igubal® rod end bearings are corrosion-free and can be used without problems even under harsh conditions. In humid or wet environments, they are resistant to weak acids and alkali, as well as dirt and dust.
Steel housing for very high loads. Suitable for temperatures from -40°C to +90°C (-40°F to +194°F) in long-term use.

Tolerances
igubal® bearing elements can be used with different tolerances according to each application. They are designed with a large clearance in the standard product, which enables secure operation even under high peripheral speeds. The hole of the spherical ball is produced to a standard tolerance range E10. Shafts should also meet recommended tolerances h6 and h9.
Dynamic coefficient of friction and speeds
An important advantage of the maintenance-free igubal® bearing elements is that fast rotational movements of the supported shaft take place directly in the spherical bearing made of iglide® materials. The advantage therefore lies in the plastic vs. steel relationship. Polymer produces lower friction and permits high speeds, even in dry operation. Taking the radial loads into account, maximum surface speeds of up to 0.5m/s rotating can be attained. By contrast, rotations of the shaft are supported directly in the inner diameter of the spherical portion. The maintenance-free igubal® bearing elements also allow linear movements of the shaft.
Inner ring for food applications
The bearing ring made of iglide® A181 is made of FDA and EU 10/2011-compliant materials.
UV resistance
The corrosion resistance of the igubal® bearing elements makes them particularly interesting for outdoor use. igubal® bearings are permanently resistant to UV radiation. A small change in color (dark coloration) of the spherical ball due to UV radiation does not affect the mechanical, electrical or thermal properties.
