RM-MTE Rodobal Series Terminal Block Test

Rodobal RM-MTE series swivel heads. Rodobal swivel heads with the suffix “..MTE” have a forged body made from 42CrMo4 alloy steel, which is heat-treated to withstand very high stresses. The inner spherical ring is made of 100Cr6 carbon steel, hardened and ground both on the spherical surface and in the bore, and is thick-chromium-plated. Furthermore, an anti-friction insert, consisting of a mesh of bronze wires impregnated with PTFE, is positioned between the spherical inner ring and the stainless steel bushing.
The anti-friction insert provides permanent lubrication; no greasing is required, either initially or during operation. This eliminates the need for a grease nipple and the associated hole in the head body, which would reduce the load-bearing capacity. Rodobal ..MTE spherical heads are corrosion-resistant thanks to the polished nickel plating on the head body, the stainless steel bushing, and the chrome plating and thickness of the inner ring. The spherical sliding joint is preloaded and has very low play; the preload prevents the joint’s play from increasing during use.
The fine-pitch right- or left-hand thread allows for precise adjustment of the centre distances between the arms and bars.
