What Are Rod Ends and How Are They Used?

Posted on September 28, 2022

Rod ends consist of an eye-shaped head with an integral shank that serves as housing for a spherical plain bearing, or bushing. They are utilized in linkage applications where a bearing must support a significant misalignment. Rod ends are typically used in the automotive and aerospace industries, but they are also present in a wide range of industrial machinery.

Everything You Need to Know About Shaft Grounding Devices

Posted on April 21, 2022

Shaft grounding devices, or shaft earthing devices, redirect extraneous electrical current that accumulates on motor shafts away from more sensitive motor components. Motors can act as electromagnetic dynamos, with fast-moving parts creating voltage that is not harnessed for productive use. These currents build up mainly on the motor shaft, but they also circulate throughout the rest of the motor. By properly grounding a motor shaft with a shaft grounding device, the wear on motor bearings and other components is greatly reduced, ensuring that the motor lasts longer and functions more effectively.
