The stainless steel rod ends are suitable for pneumatic cylinders, control and automation equipment, including machines used in food and beverage, chemical and medical applications. The range offers machine designers and builders a maintenance-free unit that is resistant to most media, including food, beverages, chemicals and water. The ELGES range of rod ends is made from alloy steel and comprises a housing with internal or external threaded stem (spigot) and a maintenance-free spherical plain bearing. The housing and stem conform to DIN ISO 12 240-4, dimension series K and have a radial spherical plain bearing and a right or left hand internal or external thread. The sliding contact pair incorporates corrosion-resistant steel and a corrosion-resistant PTFE-bronze film that is fixed in the outer ring crowned surface. This sliding contact ensures maintenance-free operation. All internal threaded rod ends in the range are also available with CETOP (European Fluid Power Committee) mounting dimensions in accordance with ISO 8139 for pneumatic cylinders.
