Description

Swivel Bearing Series GK
with through-zero clearance of approx. 0.05 to 0.15 mm.
This joints represents a cost-effective solution to the backlash-free or adjustable joints. The swivel bearings consists of rod eye with spherical pain bearing and clevis bracket. They are suitable for static or dynamic testing, recommended mainly for threshold application due to the small backlash.

Fatigue Rated Rod Ends & Swivel Bases Series GKD
The rod ends have standard size threaded holes to mate with industry standard threaded rod ends. The swivel base ends have standard bolt patterns to match and mount directly on actuators. The fatigue rated clevises have a clamp bolt to remove backlash and decrease noise when operated with reciprocation loads.
Typical applications include
Structural fatigue testing
Fatigue testing of structures and components
Vehicle durability testing
The Rod and Base Ends set the standard for actuator accessory design unmatched in extreme and gruelling test conditions. Advanced design and quality components makes actuator swivels and base ends your best choice for testing applications.

Swivel Base
Reducing backlash while maintaining its freedom to pivot, a swivel base is a semi-spherical bearing with an adjustable preload mechanism. Impact noise reduction, minimized friction and improvement of test results during load reversals found in tension and compression testing or in high frequency testing can be achieved with proper bearing preload adjustment. A swivel base can be used anywhere a backlash free swivel connection is required.

Swivel Rod End
A swivel rod end provides the same benefits as a swivel base. In structural testing applications equipping an actuator equipped with both a swivel rod end and swivel base allows pivotal freedom of the actuator at both ends. The freedom to pivot at both ends minimizes moment loads on the load cell and piston rod bearings.

The rugged design provides backlash-free testing up to full force rating and longest service life.
This series of joints are available up to high nominal force ratings and providing movements of +/- 8°.
These joints are available up to 3000 kN force capacity and are well suited to the AHA and ADA Actuators.

Ball Joints Series JB
Suitable for Static and Dynamic Material and Structure Testing Backlash free ball joints series JB are the ideal connection elements for dynamic testing in conjunction with test actuators Series AHA, ADA or AGD actuators.
This ball joints are used to protect actuators from unwanted side loads. While oscillating loads are applied to the test object the ball joints allows to swivel and rotating of the test object. The nominal swivel angle of ball joints series JB are +/- 20 degree in each axis.
Nominal loads and connection flanges are adapted to the testing actuator. This Ball Joints are available in sizes from 5 to 630 kN. Special customized versions adapted to your needs are also available.
