TESCUBAL – Rod Ends & Spherical Plain Bearings

TESCUBAL – Rod Ends & Spherical Plain Bearings is the dedicated catalog for oscillating joints and motion transfer.
It covers maintenance-required steel/steel designs for heavy static loads, maintenance-free PTFE-lined variants for continuous operation, and stainless-steel options for corrosive environments.

Threaded rod ends are available in male/female, right/left thread, metric series, all compliant with ISO/R and DIN standards.

Content overview

• Families: GE/GE…E, GEEW, GAC, POS/POF, SI…K, SA…K and angular-contact.
• Bore sizes from 3 mm to 200 mm, normal/reduced cross-sections.
• Internal clearance classes and precision options.
• Variants with seals, lubrication grooves, nipples.
• Materials: bearing steels, PTFE liners, stainless on request.

How to use

1. Define dynamic load, misalignment angle and duty cycle.
2. Check clearance class and decide maintenance-free vs. steel/steel.
3. Select bore/thread and confirm ISO/DIN compliance.
4. Review environment: dust, washdown, temperature, corrosion.

Best practices

• Use maintenance-free liners for vibration or reversing loads.
• Choose steel/steel with re-greasing for slow heavy-duty joints.
• Ensure seals and relubrication paths in harsh environments.
• Follow correct mounting to preserve alignment and clearance.
