GK DO Rod End Housing – Female Thread with Locating Pin

GK DO Rod End Housing is a documented maintenance required series for industrial linkage or pivot applications. Female-thread rod-end housing; weldable base with locating pin. Use the main image for identification and the full product description for model-by-model dimensions and load data.

GK DO is more than a standard rod end: the housing includes a weldable base and locating pin while retaining a female threaded connection. A GE..ES or GE..ES 2RS radial spherical plain bearing sits in the body, and the housing includes a lubrication route. Catalogue bores run from 10 to 80 mm.

Typical Applications

Fabricated cylinder mounts

Welded machine frames

Heavy pivot points needing a threaded connection

Selection Guide

The weldment makes installation geometry critical. Confirm bore, bearing width and the base dimensions, then locate the centerline on the fabricated structure before welding. Heat input and distortion must be controlled so the bearing seat is not pulled out of shape.

Installation & Maintenance

Protect the bearing from welding current, spatter and excessive heat. Final grease access should be checked after surrounding plates are added, not just on the bare bracket.

Related Bearings

GF DO uses a weldable base without the same female-thread arrangement; GIHR DO adds a heavy-duty threaded housing and locking hardware; GE E / GE ES 2RS is the underlying serviceable spherical bearing family.

FAQ

Weldable base with locating pin — what changes selection?
Choose sealed variants where the catalogue allows them when contamination is a concern.
GE ES / GE ES 2RS bearing construction — what should installers watch?
After welding and cooling, verify that the bearing still articulates smoothly and that the locating feature has not shifted.
Heavy pivot points needing a threaded connection — suitable duty?
Heavy pivot points needing a threaded connection is a screening application for the GK series; final size follows the model table and actual joint duty.
