PMC Motorsport RC Sport-Series Rod End - Uniball M16x2.0 - female left thread

The rod end is a specialized mechanical component that enables the transfer of forces in various directions while allowing for a certain degree of rotational and articulating movement. It is a crucial component in systems that require precise and smooth load transfer, such as control systems, suspension systems, and joints. Rod ends typically consist of two main elements: the body (housing) and a spherical joint, which allows free movement in multiple planes.

 PTFE

Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) is a polymer composed of carbon and fluorine atoms. Due to its unique chemical structure, PTFE possesses exceptional physical and chemical properties:

Low friction: PTFE has one of the lowest friction coefficients among all solid materials, making it ideal for applications requiring smooth operation without lubrication.

High-temperature: resistance: PTFE can operate in a wide temperature range from -50°C to +150°C.

Chemical resistance: PTFE is resistant to almost all chemicals, making it perfect for use in aggressive environments.

Electrical insulation: PTFE is an excellent electrical insulator, allowing its use in applications requiring protection against electrical surges.

Applications

PTFE fabric bearings find wide applications in various industrial sectors:

Hydraulics and Pneumatics: Connections in hydraulic and pneumatic cylinders.

Automotive Industry: Suspensions, steering systems.

Agricultural Machinery: Joints in agricultural machinery.
