IntroductionJoint bearing is a kind of special structure of sliding bearing. It is simple in structure than the rolling bearing, which is mainly composed of a spherical inner ring and a spherical outer ring, can bear larger load, according to the different types and structures, can be combined load

In an automobile, ball joints are spherical bearings that connect the control arms to the steering knuckles. They are used on virtually every automobile made and work similarly to the ball-and-socket design of the human hip joint.A ball joint consists of a bearing stud and socket enclosed in a casin

The spherical rod end bearing was developed by Nazi Germany during World War II. When one of the first German planes to be shot down by the British in early 1940 was examined, they found this joint in use in the aircraft's control systems. Following this discovery, the Allied governments gave the H.

A rod end bearing, also known as a heim joint (N. America) or rose joint (U.K. and elsewhere), is a mechanical articulating joint. Such joints are used on the ends of control rods, steering links, tie rods, or anywhere a precision articulating joint is required, and where a clevis end (which require
