Loader slot rod ends is a self-lubrication rod ends. The rod end ball is inserted into a machined slot, which is then surrounded by injection molded reinforced PTFE. This serves as a liner to keep dirt and debris out while also lubricating the rod end. In addition to providing added strength, the injection molded race won’t pound out like traditional PTFE liners, increasing the longevity of your rod ends. Strong and durable, these rod ends are a good choice for Strong and durable, these rod ends are a good choice for most applications and most industry applications.

• Housings are made of carbon steel, alloy steel, stainless steel or aluminum.
• Balls are made of 52100(100Cr6) bearing steel or 400 series stainless steel.
• The dry sliding layer made of glass fibre reinforced polyamide containing PTFE is injection moulded between the rod end housing and inner ring. 

Operating temperature ranges

• Injection molded rod ends can be used at temperatures from –40 to +75 °C (–40 to +170 °F).
• However, if the load carrying capacity is fully exploited, the maximum temperature has to be limited to +50 °C (+120 °F).
