Rod ends

Rino Industries is promoting its ranges of rod ends.

"These are heavy-duty products suitable for low maintenance applications in which long-time lubrication is required", says Amanda Laughton, sales manager. All rod ends are offered in male or female threaded versions with integral self-aligning ball, roller, or plain bearings in steel or stainless steel. Sizes are from M5 to M60. The company also has available an 'economy' version which starts at M6 size and finishes at M64 with left-handed or right-handed threads. "The sliding combination is manufactured from steel/bronze - ptfe fabric. The inner ring is bearing steel that is hardened, ground, and chromium-plated; the outer ring is made in heavy-duty bronze with embedded bronze in ptfe."
