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

Mechanical link rods

Construction-equipment control joints

Low-speed pivoting mechanisms

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.

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.

FAQ

Male threaded shank for direct installation — what changes selection?
Reversing loads, shock, short oscillation strokes and imperfect alignment can all change how the liner is stressed in service.
Lubrication provision in the housing — what should installers watch?
After assembly, cycle the mechanism by hand and make sure the rod end tilts freely without the eye or grease fitting hitting nearby steelwork.
Low-speed pivoting mechanisms — suitable duty?
Low-speed pivoting mechanisms is a screening application for the POS series; final size follows the model table and actual joint duty.
