Usage Suggestions

APPLICATION SUGGESTIONS

  1. To prevent/eliminate the possibility of exceeding the misalignment of rodend, a separate stop in the linkage system should be incorporated. Premature failure of the joint could be avoided this way.

  2. Applications which encounter excessive vibrations may result in chipping or distortion of the plated balls, consequently resulting in increased torque, wear and premature failure. Self locking nylon insert nuts or lock washers which secure the balls should be used to prevent this. 

  3. For optimum utilization of the joint with respect to the gravitational force, rodend bearings should be mounted with the housing members on the top.

  4. Testing under actual operating is the only reliable means of determining a part useful life.

  5. Tensile strength show in the table are expected minimum results based on tests based on actual tests performed on production samples. These should be used only as a guideline and suitable safety factors should be incorporated ay the time of designing. 

BALL JOINT / RODENDS ASSEMBLY TENSILE TEST PROCEDURE

A Ball Joint/Rodend assembly is tensile tested by placing the ball member/stud in a fixed position and applying increasing tensile force along the axis of the internally threaded housing untile rupture occurs. The assembly’s ultimate strength then is either the maximum tensile stress of the internally threaded housing or the maximum shear stress of the male threaded stud, whichever ruptures first.
