ADJUSTABLE ROD END.

摘要

A rod end has a split clamp housing which supports a bearing for transferring motion or loading forces from an actuator to another part to be loaded. An adjustable stop for the clamp is used to adjust the backlash of the bearing used with the rod end to a desired level without causing distortion. A spherical washer set is used for transferring loads between the two clamp portions. The housing for the bearing is clamped against the spherical washer set at a preselected loading so that the bearing is able to rotate and swivel as needed, but backlash is removed.
