This standard specifies the characteristics of adjustable rod ends with self-aligning double row ball bearing with reduced internal radial clearance and threaded shank in corrosion resisting steel, designed to withstand only slow rotations and oscillations under load.They consist of:-a rod end comprising:-circumferential groove to identify location;-either seals or shields;-an optional longitudinal groove for locking purpose;-an inner ring with balls.These rod ends are intended for use with flight control rods or rods for aerospace structures.They are intended to be used in the temperature range: - 54 °C to 150 °C.However, being lubricated with the following greases:-very high pressure grease, ester type (code A), operational range - 73 °C to 121 °C or-very high pressure grease, synthetic hydrocarbons, general purpose (code B), operational range - 54 °C to 177 °C (see EN 2067),their field of application when lubricated with code A grease is limited to 121 °C.
