Stainless steel gearboxes are widely used in industrial transmission fields due to their high strength and corrosion resistance. However, in actual use, stainless steel gearboxes may still malfunction due to improper design, installation, lubrication or maintenance....
NOS Rod End Bearing – Male Thread, PTFE Lined
NOS Rod End Bearing is a documented maintenance-free series for industrial linkage or pivot applications. PTFE-composite maintenance-free sliding surface; male metric thread. Use the main image for identification and the full product description for model-by-model dimensions and load data.
MOQ: 50 pcs. Minimum order value USD 1,500; mixed orders and trial quantities welcome.
NOS takes the NHS maintenance-free construction and adds an external threaded shank. The result is a small, direct-mount rod end for applications where a tapped linkage can accept the bearing without a separate stud. The supplied range covers 3–25 mm bores and corresponding metric threads.

Typical Applications
Selection Guide
Check the thread engagement available in the mating part as well as the bearing rating. A high-capacity eye does not compensate for too little thread engagement or a thin receiving boss.
Installation & Maintenance
Keep installation torque on the shank and locknut, not on the bearing eye. This is a maintenance-free PTFE-lined joint, so the service plan should focus on cleanliness, play and freedom of movement rather than greasing.
Related Bearings
NHS is the female-thread match; SA T/K is a larger maintenance-free male-thread alternative; GAR C / GAR ET 2RS serves heavier male-thread rod-end layouts.
