Parameter Category | Specification | Notes / Standard | |
---|---|---|---|
Manufacturer Part Number | S16008-33 | Associated with Aurora’s MS series or equivalent standard-duty female rod ends. | |
Bearing Type | Female Threaded, Standard Duty Spherical Plain Bearing / Rod End | Lighter construction compared to the S15xxx heavy-duty series. | |
Thread Designation | Female Thread (Internal Thread) | Has a threaded bore for a bolt or stud to screw into. | |
Key Design Feature | Lightweight Design | Designed for applications where weight is a consideration, without sacrificing strength. | |
Thread Size | #8 – 36 UNF | This is a common aerospace standard thread size for the -33 suffix. Major diameter is approximately 0.164 inches. | |
Thread Direction | Right-Hand | ||
Inner Diameter (Bore of Outer Ring) | ~0.3125 inch (5/16″) | ~7.94 mm | This is the approximate bore size of the housing. |
Outer Diameter (O.D.) | ~0.625 inch | ~15.88 mm | Approximate, indicative of its small, lightweight nature. |
Width | ~0.500 inch | ~12.70 mm | Overall thickness of the bearing assembly. |
Bearing Housing Material | Carbon Steel / Case Hardened | Often corrosion-resistant plated (e.g., cadmium). | |
Liner Material | Self-Lubricating Composite (e.g., PTFE/Nomex) OR Porous Bronze | Can be found in both maintenance-free and lubricatable versions. The -33 suffix often indicates a specific type. | |
Ball Material | Case Hardened Carbon Steel | ||
Static Load Capacity | ~3,000 – 4,000 lbf (~13 – 18 kN) | Significantly lower than heavy-duty series, as expected for its size. Value is approximate. | |
Dynamic Load Capacity | ~1,500 – 2,000 lbf (~7 – 9 kN) | For oscillating movements. Value is approximate. | |
Lubrication | Varies: Can be Maintenance-Free (PTFE) or Lubricatable (Bronze). | Must be confirmed from the datasheet. The presence of a grease fitting will distinguish them. | |
Standard | Often conforms to MS16513 or similar aerospace standards. | ||
Primary Applications | Aerospace controls, UAV linkages, robotics, precision instruments, throttle linkages, and any application requiring a compact, lightweight, and precise pivoting connection with a female thread. |
