Great care should be taken when mounting and installing Unibal
rod ends and spherical bearings, to ensure that they operate
under optimum conditions.
Incorrect mounting will considerably reduce the life of the
product. The examples of installation shown here illustrate
some suitable mounting methods.
Fig 1. Classic mounting of rod end housings: fastened together
by means of a threaded rod to span two supports,
secured with a locknut. As a general rule, the ball is held
in place by shouldered supports, sleeves, or by means of
a set screw + washer as the illustration shows.

are pressed into bores
machined to the
correct size. One of
the balls is held by

of the shaft end.
Driving the ball on to
the shaft is not good
practice; the sliding
moment will increase
and the ball may even
become locked into
the housing.

Rod ends and spherical bearings with UNIFLON liners are
designed to operate without lubrication; no lubricant is applied
during assembly. However, lubrication will reduce the sliding
moment and enhance life expectancy, but it may also modify
the operating characteristic of the bearing.
