A rod end is a type of spherical plain bearing. A spherical plain bearing has a spherical outer ring in a bearing housing (or the inner surface of the housing is spherically machined) and a ball-shaped inner ring with a drilled hole in it. In general, spherical plain bearings and rod-end bearings may also be treated as synonyms. Rod Ends are mechanical elements that are used to fasten the housing end of a spherical plain bearing with a male or female thread to the end of a rod (shaft), such as a connecting rod, to fix or connect two parts, and allow the relative displacement of the two parts by means of their spherical plain structure. It is mainly used to connect parts using links or to transmit linear motion to other parts. They are used in a wide range of fields, including construction machinery, industrial machinery, automobiles, and aircraft. Rod Ends are used to connect parts by threading male threads, which are threaded at one or both ends of a shaft called a connecting rod, into the female threads of the rod end housing. A pin, shaft, bolt, or other component is inserted into the hole drilled in the center of the rod end's ball-shaped inner ring, and the inner ring and pin or other component are fastened with a nut or other means. The distance between parts and the length of the connecting rod can be adjusted by the screwing depth of the rod end and the connecting rod.
