💡 What is a rod end bearing used for in heavy machinery and automation systems?

In practical use, rod end bearings serve as pivoting joints to connect moving parts while allowing some misalignment and transmitting loads. - handy for joining shafts in conveyors, robotics, and agricultural equipment - supports angular movement and load transmission in tight spaces - PTFE-lined races with chrome-plated balls provide low friction and long life
