What Are Plain & Rod End Bearings Used For?

Plain bearings are non-rolling element bearings designed to support radial or axial loads where high strength and minimal maintenance are required. Rod ends, also known as Heim joints or rose joints, provide a threaded connection combined with a spherical bearing, allowing for angular movement in control linkages and mechanical assemblies.

Together, these components are widely used across construction machinery, agricultural equipment, hydraulic systems, transport vehicles, and industrial automation. Their design enables efficient motion, reduces vibration, and compensates for misalignment, making them an indispensable choice for engineers worldwide.
