Rod End Bearing PHSB6 3/8″ Right Hand Self-Lubricating Joint

Description

Product Overview

The HIPICCO PHSB6 rod end bearing is engineered to meet the rigorous demands of modern industrial and scientific applications. Featuring a 3/8″ bore and a right‑hand 3/8‑24 thread, this bearing delivers precise alignment and smooth motion transfer across a wide range of mechanical assemblies. The body is forged from high‑grade #45 steel, providing a robust foundation that resists deformation under load. Hardened bearing steel balls are locked within a copper ring, ensuring consistent performance even in harsh environments. The inner ring’s spherical surface is chromium‑plated, adding an extra layer of corrosion resistance and wear protection. With a static load capacity of 10 kN and a dynamic load capacity of 9.4 kN, the PHSB6 can handle substantial forces while maintaining low noise operation. Its self‑lubricating design incorporates a unidirectional oil valve that continuously supplies lubrication to the bearing surfaces, reducing maintenance intervals and extending service life. The package includes two jam nuts for secure installation, making it a ready‑to‑use solution for engineers and technicians.

Usage

This rod end bearing excels in applications where precise motion control and durability are paramount. It is widely used in hydraulic cylinders that power construction equipment, agricultural machinery, and material handling systems. CNC machines benefit from the bearing’s ability to accommodate angular misalignment up to 9 degrees, ensuring smooth operation of spindle drives and tool changers. Power tools such as pneumatic drills and impact wrenches rely on the bearing’s low‑friction characteristics to deliver consistent torque without premature wear. Automation equipment, including robotic arms and conveyor systems, also leverages the PHSB6’s high load capacity and self‑lubricating feature to maintain continuous operation with minimal downtime. The bearing’s compact dimensions—4.72 x 2.36 x 0.51 inches—allow it to fit into tight spaces, while its 5.28‑ounce weight keeps the overall system mass low. Whether installed in a stationary hydraulic press or a mobile construction vehicle, the PHSB6 provides reliable performance under varying temperature and load conditions.

FAQ

What is the maximum load this bearing can handle?

The PHSB6 rod end bearing is rated for a static load capacity of 10 kN and a dynamic load capacity of 9.4 kN, making it suitable for high‑stress applications.

Can this bearing be used in high‑temperature environments?

Yes, the hardened steel construction and chromium plating allow the bearing to operate reliably in temperatures up to 200 °C, provided that the lubrication system is maintained.

Is the self‑lubricating feature compatible with external grease?

The built‑in oil valve is designed to work independently of external greasing. Adding extra grease is not required and may interfere with the internal lubrication mechanism.

What sizes and thread directions are available?

While this listing focuses on the 3/8″ bore with a right‑hand 3/8‑24 thread, the product line includes a range of sizes from 3/16″ to 3/4″ and both left‑hand and right‑hand thread options to suit diverse mechanical requirements.

How do I install the jam nuts included with the bearing?

Place the jam nuts on the threaded shaft after the bearing is seated, then tighten them to the recommended torque specification (typically 5–7 Nm) to secure the assembly and prevent axial movement.
