Rod End Bearing PHS Type (Female Thread)

1.  Product Description

The LOCUS PHS Rod End Bearing with female internal threads is a high-performance mechanical linkage component designed to accommodate misalignment and oscillating movement in mechanical systems. Made with durable materials and precision-engineered by Adarsh Bearings Pvt. Ltd., it ensures long-lasting performance even under heavy dynamic loads. Ideal for use in industrial automation, robotics, hydraulics, and heavy equipment.

3. Working

PHS rod end bearings function by allowing rotation and angular movement between connected parts while transmitting loads. The inner spherical bearing rotates inside the outer housing, compensating for misalignment between connecting components. This is especially critical in dynamic linkages, reducing stress and friction.

4. Principle

The design is based on the spherical plain bearing principle, where a spherical ball (inner ring) with an inner bore is fitted in an outer ring with a matching spherical surface. It allows angular movement and rotational motion around the central axis, absorbing radial and axial loads while permitting some misalignment.

5. Assembly Instructions

1. Inspect the bearing and mating threads for debris or damage.
2. Align the bearing with the component or structure.
3. Thread the rod end bearing into the matching male-threaded component.
4. Tighten using appropriate torque (use locknuts if necessary).
5. Apply grease if not maintenance-free.
6. Ensure there is no axial binding or extreme misalignment.

6. Installation Process

• Ensure alignment before assembly.
• Install with the right-hand or left-hand thread as per design.
• Use washers and spacers if required.
• Avoid overtightening.
• Grease before first use unless PTFE liner is used.
• Perform test oscillation or rotation before full operation.

10. FAQs

Q1: Are PHS Rod End Bearings suitable for outdoor applications?
➡️ Yes, choose stainless steel or coated variants for corrosion resistance.

Q2: What’s the difference between male and female thread rod ends?
➡️ Female has internal threads (like PHS), male has external threads (like POS).

Q3: Do these bearings need lubrication?
➡️ Standard types do. PTFE-lined types are maintenance-free.

Q4: Can I request custom thread sizes or ball materials?
➡️ Yes, Adarsh Bearings can manufacture as per Locus brand specs.

Q5: Can these bearings handle axial loads?
➡️ Yes, to a certain limit depending on size and design.
