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....
POS Rod End Bearing – Male Thread, Bronze Liner
POS Rod End Bearing is a documented maintenance required series for industrial linkage or pivot applications. Serviceable bronze-lined joint; male threaded shank for direct installation. Use the main image for identification and the full product description for model-by-model dimensions and load data.
POS uses the same bronze-lined, greasable concept as PHS but moves the connection to an external male thread. It works well when the linkage already has a tapped boss or coupling and the bearing must be replaceable from the outside. The series runs from 5 to 30 mm bore in the supplied catalogue.

Typical Applications
Selection Guide
Match the male thread to the mating part and the bore to the pin, then check the housing length and wrench-clearance around the locknut. Do not select by static rating alone.
Installation & Maintenance
Plan the grease route before the machine is finished. A lubrication point hidden behind a guard tends to be ignored, which turns a serviceable joint into an early wear item.
Related Bearings
PHS is the female-thread companion; POSB is the inch-series option; SA T/K is the maintenance-free male-thread alternative when relubrication access is not wanted.
