🔍 Key Features
✅ PHS12 – Female Thread Rod End Bearing
Internal thread design allows it to be screwed onto male-threaded rods or shafts.
Suitable for applications where external connection is needed.
Often used in linkages with flexible mounting and adjustable length.
Applications:
Robotic joints and industrial arms
Textile and printing machines
Agricultural implements
Conveyor systems
Suspension systems in vehicles
✅ POS12 – Male Thread Rod End Bearing
External thread design for insertion into components with female threads.
Ideal for compact environments or applications requiring threaded insertion.
Provides strong axial support and rotational flexibility.
Applications:
Hydraulic and pneumatic cylinders
Steering linkages and control rods
Motion control systems
Aerospace and marine equipment
Construction machinery
How to Choose Between PHS12 and POS12?
When selecting the appropriate rod end bearing, consider the following:
Connection Type:
Choose PHS12 if you need to connect to a male thread. Opt for POS12 if you're attaching to a female-threaded component.Load Requirements:
Evaluate your system’s dynamic and static load conditions to ensure proper bearing performance.Installation Space:
Check the available space for installation — female types may require more room due to their external body.Environmental Conditions:
Consider corrosion resistance, lubrication, and exposure to dust or chemicals.
