<p>A heat isolating actuator linkage (805 , 905) that includes a rod end housing (810 , 910) including a bearing opening (814 , 914) with a rod end ball (812 , 912) disposed therein. A race insert (816 , 916) is disposed between the rod end housing (810 , 910) and the rod end ball (812, 912). A threaded portion (818 ,918) extends from the rod end housing (810 , 910) and may comprise male or female threads. A shield (830 ,930) extends from the rod end housing (810 , 910). The shield (830 , 930) is integrally formed with the rod end housing (810 , 910). The shield (830 , 930) extends around a majority of the rod end housing (810 , 910) and may extend to one side of the bearing opening (814 , 914). Alternatively, a first portion (932) of the shield may extend towards one side of the bearing opening (914) and a second portion (932) of the shield may extend towards the other side.</p> |
