J.W. Winco now offers WN 648 Self-Lubricating Rod End Bearings in inch sizes. These RoHS-compliant rod end bearings are suitable for high load, low speed applications with hanging angles, requiring linear, rotational or oscillatory motions. They are offered in both tapped and threaded stem versions.

The rod end bearings are made of zinc-plated low carbon steel, with right or left hand threads. The ball socket is low carbon, zinc-plated steel, case hardened.  The external ring is made of a special oil impregnated bronze material. In addition, these joints have less increase of clearance after longer operating hours than rod ends with PTFE-surface outer races.
