Recently, a Rod End joint bearing purchased by a client of our company experienced bulging of the bottom spinning gasket and deformation of the screw due to structural design issues, urgently requiring structural changes to the product.Given that the external dimensions of the product cannot be altered due to matching with other components, our project engineers focused the modifications on internal structure, material, and heat treatment requirements:
1.Functional integration: Remove the plastic ball bowl and replace the original 2.5mm-thick bottom gasket with a 10mm-thick part shaped like a ball bowl, significantly enhancing load-bearing capacity.
2.Connection upgrade: Change the connection mode between the outer ring and the gasket from spinning to threaded connection (external threads of the ball bowl matched with internal threads of the outer ring), and fix it with two spot welds at the bottom.
3.Contact surface strengthening: Perform high-frequency quenching on the contact surface with the screw ball head to extend service life and load-bearing capacity.
4.Supporting optimization: Adjust the internal structure and heat treatment requirements of the outer ring accordingly.
After confirming process feasibility and cost, the new design plan was successfully approved by the client, and a new order was placed in early June.Providing professional technical services to clients and solving their core needs is what our company has always been committed to!
