FAQ

1. How do I select the correct size of SQG series rod end bearing for my application?

Selecting the correct size is based on the required load capacity, bore diameter, and thread size to match your linkage system. You must consider both the static and dynamic loads your application will experience, as well as the axial and radial forces. For specific selection advice or to ensure compatibility with your existing SQG rod end bearing dimensions, our technical team offers a free application review based on your engineering specifications.

2. What is the expected service life of a maintenance-free rod end in a high-vibration environment?

The service life of a maintenance-free rod end, like the SQG series, depends on several factors, including the applied load, speed of oscillation, and operating temperature. The PTFE composite liner is designed to withstand a significant number of cycles without lubrication, but high-frequency vibrations can accelerate wear. We recommend a factor of safety calculation based on your specific operational data. For projects with unique challenges, our engineers can analyze your high-vibration linkage application to provide a more accurate service life estimate and suggest alternative solutions.
