DURBAL Rod ends
Product description:
DURBAL rod ends are used for the transmission of static and dynamic forces in conjunction with swivelling, tilting and rotating movements. Our rod ends are available in both roller bearing and plain bearing versions.
Premium Line:
Low-maintenance high-performance rod ends with integrated barrel or self-aligning ball bearings of types: BRTM, BRTF, WLT, BRM, BRF, PM, and PF
A special heat treatment process lends the rod ends a raceway hardness corresponding to that of rolling bearings and at the same time ensures high stability under changing loads.
Classic Line:
Maintenance-free high line rod ends with integrated plain bearing with DURBAL-GLIDE* of types: BEM, BEF, EM, EF, BEMA, BEFA, EMA and EFA
Maintenance-required high line rod ends with fixed plain bearing of types: BEMN, BEFN, EMN and EFN
*DURBAL-GLIDE:
A special, glass fibre-reinforced plastic sliding shell that contains PTFE, among other things, to minimise friction. The design ensures absolute freedom from maintenance and leads to industry-leading freedom from play. The plastic has the unique secondary property of absorbing and harmlessly enclosing any foreign bodies that may penetrate, which minimises the likelihood of your application failing.
Basic Line:
Maintenance-free and maintenance-requiring standard rod ends, hydraulic rod ends and accessories.
The Basic Line rod ends are available in the sliding pairings:
- Steel / bearing brass-PTFE composite material
- Steel / steel
- Steel / bearing brass
DURBAL Spherical plain bearing
Product description:
DURBAL spherical plain bearings are ready-to-install and standardised machine elements that enable spatial adjustment movements. They transmit static and dynamic forces in conjunction with swivelling, tilting and rotating movements. Our spherical plain bearings are available in both rolling bearing and plain bearing designs.
Premium Line:
Low-maintenance high-performance spherical plain bearings with integrated barrel or self-aligning ball bearing types: WLK and WLT
A special heat treatment process gives the spherical plain bearings a raceway hardness equivalent to that of rolling bearings and at the same time ensures high stability under varying loads.
Classic Line:
Maintenance-free high line spherical plain bearings with integrated plain bearing with DURBAL-GLIDE* of types: GLK, GLKS, GLE and GLG
*DURBAL-GLIDE:
A special, glass fibre-reinforced plastic sliding shell that contains PTFE, among other things, to minimise friction. The design ensures absolute freedom from maintenance and leads to industry-leading freedom from play. The plastic has the unique secondary property of absorbing and harmlessly enclosing any foreign bodies that may penetrate, which minimises the likelihood of your application failing.
Basic Line:
Maintenance-free and maintenance-requiring standard spherical plain bearings
The Basic Line spherical plain bearings are available in the following sliding pairings:
- Steel / bearing brass-PTFE composite material
- Steel / steel
- Steel / bearing brass
