BS EN 4036:2021

This standard BS EN 4036:2021 Aerospace series. Rod end, adjustable, with self-aligning double row ball bearing and threaded shank, in corrosion resisting steel, reduced internal radial clearance. Dimensions and loads is classified in these ICS categories:

• 49.035 Components for aerospace construction

This document 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:

1. a rod end comprising:

2. circumferential groove to identify location;

3. either seals or shields;

4. an optional longitudinal groove for locking purpose;

5. 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:

1. very high pressure grease, ester type (code A), operational range ?73 °C to 121 °C; or

2. 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.
