Heim Rod Ends - RBC Bearings - #5

steel, heat treated to SAE-AMS-H-6875 (formerly MIL-H-6875), and are cadmium plated. The outer races are made from

heat treated 17-4PH stainless steel (ASM

5643). The balls are made from heat treated 440C stainless steel (AMS 5630).

The Heim UNIFLON^® PTFE liner is

approved to SAE-AS81820 (formerly MIL-

B-81820). The ME and FE series mil-spec

aircraft rod ends are approved to SAE-AS81935 (formerly MIL-B-81935). These premium rod ends are primarily intended for use in commercial and military aviation applications.

Metric Rod Ends Series SM, SMG, SF and SFG four piece, precision, metric rod ends use brass race inserts for lubricity and clearance control. They are produced to tight tolerances for applications where a precision rod end is required in a metric size. Series SME and SFE two piece, self-lubricating metric rod ends use Heim's

Type E UNIFLON^® PTFE liner. They are

ideal for metric applications where relubrication is not practical. The two piece construction offers the added benefit of high strength for high loads. Heim also offers a wide variety of other metric rod ends. Contact Heim for avail­ability and specifications.

Heim rod ends are available with male and female threaded shanks. Standard rod ends have right hand threads. Left hand threads are available as an option. Lubricators are standard on selected series and are available as an option on all other series. Shank keyways are option­ally available on most series to engage lock washer tangs. A wide range of other optional features includes plain shanks and special plating.

Commercial Rod Ends Series HM C and HF C four piece commercial rod ends use Heim's classic brass race insert design for lubricity and clearance control. These rod ends are preferred for dynamic applications. Heim commercial rod ends have zinc plated bodies and nickel plated balls for corrosion resistance. Series M CR and F CR two piece commercial rod ends offer high strength for heavy static loads. Heim's unique manufac­turing process for two piece rod ends yields the industry's best conformity between ball and body for maximum bearing capacity.

• Series HM C and HF C: pages 8-9

• Series M CR and F CR: pages 10-11

Series CMHD & CFHD self-lubricating com­mercial rod ends use an engineered thermo­plastic race for applications where relubrica-tion is not practical or desirable. The rod end body and ball are plated for corrosion resis­tance. This series is also available in stainless steel for superior corrosion resistance.

• Series CMHD and CFHD: pages 12-13

Aircraft Rod Ends Series HM M and HF M four piece aircraft rod ends have magnafluxed rod end bodies for a high degree of assurance of rod end integrity. The bearing surface is a chrome plated ball on brass race inserts. This series was originally intended for general aviation applications and is also used in many industrial applications where rod end reliability is critical. Series M M and F M special purpose aircraft rod ends use materials and construction identical to series HM M and HF M but have different dimensions. Series HME M and HFE M self lubricating aircraft rod ends use Heim's UNIFLON® PTFE liner and cartridge type construction. The Heim UNIFLON® PTFE liner is approved to SAE-AS81820 (formerly MIL-B-18820).

Military Rod Ends Series ME and FE mil-spec rod ends use Heim's Type E UNIFLON® PTFE liner and cartridge type construction. Rod end bodies are made from 4340 alloy
