Description
RODOBAL RIGHT-HANDED MALE SWIVEL HEAD
Rodobal right-hand ball joint, male, 10 mm bore. Rodobal ball joints with the suffix MTE have a body forged from 42CrMo4 steel; it is also alloyed and heat-treated to withstand very high stresses. The spherical inner ring is made of 100 Cr6 carbon steel, which is hardened and ground on both the spherical surface and the bore, and is thick-chromium-plated. Between the spherical inner ring and the stainless steel bushing is an anti-friction insert, consisting of a mesh of bronze wires impregnated with PTFE. The anti-friction insert acts as a permanent lubricant; 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. 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 thread – right-hand or left-hand – allows for precise adjustment of the centre distances between the arms and bars. Rodobal MTE ball joints 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.
