The IKO PHS18A, PHS20A, and PHS22A rod end bearings are spherical plain bearings designed for heavy-duty applications. Key features include.
Model | Inner Diameter (mm) | Outer Diameter (mm) | Load Capacity (kN) | Seal Type |
---|---|---|---|---|
PHS18A | 18 | 40 | 32 | Advanced Oil Seal (AOS)[9] |
PHS20A | 20 | 45 | 45 | Double Contact Seals[4] |
PHS22A | 22 | 50 | 58 | Corrosion-Resistant Seal[9] |
*All models use chromium steel (SUJ2)[4] with surface hardness HRC 58-62 for enhanced durability.
Primary industrial uses.
Optimised for applications requiring.
- Angular movement up to 15°
- High shock load resistance[3]
- Operation in contaminated environments [9]
Installation guidelines.
Maintenance cycle: Relubricate every 500 operating hours or 3 months in high-dust environments [4].
Case 1. Mining Conveyor System Upgrade
- Problem: Monthly bearing failures due to ore dust ingress
- Solution: PHS22A with triple-lip seals reduced downtime by 72%
Case 2. Bridge Construction Equipment
- Challenge: Saltwater corrosion in coastal projects
- Result: PHS20A's zinc-nickel coating extended service life to 18+ months
Client A. European Crane Manufacturer
- Application: 50-ton mobile crane slew bearings
- Outcome: 22% increase in mean time between failures (MTBF) using PHS18A
Client B. Asian Agricultural OEM
- Challenge: Mud contamination in rice planting equipment
- Solution: PHS22A implementation reduced maintenance costs by ¥1.2M annually
