Aurora Bearing Commerical Catalog

Product catalog summary
Company Overview: Aurora Bearing Company, established in 1971, specializes in high-quality rod ends and spherical bearings for industries such as aerospace, military, and commercial sectors. The company is committed to providing quality products at competitive prices with excellent customer service.
Product Information: Products are categorized into commercial/industrial units, metric rod ends, spherical bearings, and special units. Each category is further divided based on construction style, material, and application.
Engineering Data:
  • Rod Ends: Available in two or three-piece styles with metal-to-metal contact or PTFE lining for reduced friction. Materials include stainless and alloy steels.
  • Spherical Bearings: Feature single-piece race construction for excellent ball-to-race conformity, with options for re-lubrication and material substitution.
  • PTFE Lined Bearings: Offer maintenance-free operation and improved frictional characteristics, with different liners for specific applications.
Load Capacities:
  • Radial Static Load: Operational loads are recommended at 10% of the ultimate failure load.
  • Axial Static Load: For two-piece rod ends, it's 15% of radial capacity; for three-piece, it's 10%.
  • Spherical Bearings: Axial loads are recommended at 20% of radial capacity.
Misalignment: The document provides formulas for calculating misalignment angles based on component dimensions.
Specifications:
  • Materials: Rod ends are made from alloy steel with options for heat treatment and protective coatings. Ball components are hard chrome plated.
  • PTFE Lining: Many rod ends feature PTFE lining for enhanced performance.
  • Sizes: Rod ends are available in sizes 11/4”, 11/2”, and 2”.
Series Details:
  • Large Bore Series: Designed for general purpose and high strength applications.
  • Cam & CaB Series: High-strength, economy series with self-lubricating options.
  • Stainless Steel Series: Corrosion-resistant and precision-engineered.
Dimensions and Load Capacities: Precise dimensions and ultimate radial static load capacities are provided for each rod end.
Additional Features: Options for grease fittings are available, with specific suffixes indicating the type of fitting required.
Spherical Plain Bearings:
  • Materials and Construction: Made from 52100 steel, heat-treated and coated for corrosion resistance.
  • Radial Static Load Capacity: A safety factor of 1.5 is applied against static fracture.
  • Lubrication: Recommended lithium-based grease with EP and MOS2 additives for dynamic applications.
  • Product Variants: Includes heavy-duty metric, extended width ball, and angular contact spherical plain bearings.
Housing Bore Recommendations: Provides ISO fit recommendations for various load conditions.
Resources: Aurora Bearing offers a comprehensive CAD drawing library and technical resources on their website.
Contact Information: Located in Montgomery, IL, USA, with contact details provided for further inquiries.

ULTIMATE RADIAL STATIC LOAD CAPACITY ROD ENDS The ultimate radial static load capacity is based upon the minimum mechanical properties of the design configuration in the stressed area. The ultimate radial static load capacity called out in the rod end specification charts is defined as a single cycle, unidirectional applied load to cause ultimate failure. Operating loads should be based on the static load ratings, incorporating appropriate safety factors to suit the application. When a rod end is to be applied in full rotation, the surface speed of the ball should be kept below 20 feet per minute...
