🆕 Series Overview

The PHS series is a maintenance-required rod end bearing with an internal female thread, a tin-bronze bushing liner in the outer race, and a lubrication hole for periodic re-lubrication. Steel inner ring slides against the bronze liner, providing high load capacity and shock tolerance at low speeds.

Available in 13 bore sizes from 5 mm to 30 mm. Zinc-plated rod body with lubrication hole; larger sizes include a grease cup. Left-hand thread suffix L. Stainless steel variant suffix S.

⚙ Key Design Features

🔭

Bronze Liner

Tin-bronze outer race liner provides wear resistance and shock tolerance at low sliding speeds.

⚙

Lubrication Groove

Circumferential groove and radial hole distribute grease across the bronze-steel contact surface.

🔁

High Shock Load Tolerance

Bronze-steel contact absorbs shock loads better than steel-steel contact.

🔧

Grease Nipple

Provided on larger sizes for in-situ re-lubrication without disassembly.

✅

Female Thread

Internal thread for connection to male-threaded pins and actuators.

📈

13 Bore Sizes

5 mm to 30 mm for light to heavy-duty pivot applications.

🔭 Materials & Construction

Rod body: carbon steel, zinc-plated. Outer race: steel with tin-bronze (CuSn8) bushing press-fitted into the spherical inner bore. Inner ring: 100Cr6, through-hardened. Lubrication groove on inner bore of bronze bushing aligns with outer-race oil hole.

🔭

Tin-Bronze Liner CuSn8

Press-fitted into outer race bore. Self-lubricating properties. Compatible with EP greases.

●

100Cr6 Inner Ring

Hardened, ground spherical OD as running surface against bronze liner.

🔎

Zinc-Plated Body

Electroplated zinc on carbon steel rod body.

🏭 Typical Applications

⚙

Hydraulic Cylinder Clevis

Heavy hydraulic cylinder clevis connections where shock loads and slow oscillation are typical.

📈

Construction Equipment

Boom linkage and bucket pivot rod ends in excavators and loaders.

🔎

Agricultural Machinery

Draft control and three-point hitch linkage rod ends on tractors and implements.

⚙

Industrial Hinges

Slow-rotating pivot rod ends in press frames, conveyor gates, and industrial doors.

🔭

Mining Equipment

Vibrating screen support pivots and crusher linkage rod ends.

📈

Marine Equipment

🔧 Installation & Maintenance

🔎 Initial Lubrication

Apply NLGI-2 EP grease through lubrication hole or nipple before commissioning.

🔧 Re-lubrication

Every 200–500 hours. More frequently in wet environments.

📈 Thread Engagement

Minimum 1.0 to 1.5x nominal diameter. Thread-lock under vibration.

⚙ Speed Limit

Bronze-steel limited to slow oscillating motion. Surface velocity max 0.05 m/s.

🌡 Temperature

-30 to +100 C for standard mineral EP grease.

✅ End of Life

Replace complete unit when play exceeds acceptable limits.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

▶ How often should the bearing be re-lubricated?

Re-lubricate every 200 to 500 hours of operation depending on load, oscillation frequency, and contamination level. In wet or contaminated environments, increase frequency. Purge with NLGI-2 EP grease through the lubrication fitting until fresh grease appears at the bearing face.

▶ What grease type is recommended?

NLGI-2 lithium-complex EP grease for general industrial use. For low temperature below -20 degrees C, use low-temperature synthetic EP grease. For food-grade applications, use NSF H1 approved grease. Avoid mixing different grease types — purge completely before refilling with a different grease.

▶ Can the bearing be re-lubricated without disassembly?

Yes, provided a grease fitting or lubrication hole is accessible on the housing or rod body. Apply grease at low pressure until it exits at the bearing face or seal edge. Avoid high injection pressure that could displace lip seals.

▶ How do I order left-hand thread?

Add suffix L to the part number. Right-hand thread is standard and requires no suffix. Stainless steel variants add suffix S. Contact us to confirm availability for your specific size.

▶ What is the maximum misalignment angle?

The misalignment angle alpha (a) is listed in the specification table for each size. Do not exceed this angle in sustained operation. Edge loading caused by overangle rapidly accelerates wear at the spherical contact surface.
