Incom International Inc. - Pittsburgh PA

International Classification:

B21D 5310
B21D 5384

US Classification:

291495B

Abstract:

A method of manufacturing a spherical bearing rod end having an outer race member, an intermediate member of yieldable material within and supported by said outer race member and an inner race operationally supported by said intermediate member comprising preforming a rod end blank having a cylindrically shaped head section at one end thereof, flattening the cylindrical section to cold form two enlarged faces, forming a bore through said faces thereby leaving a uniformly cold formed annular area to serve as the outer member, inserting in said bore said intermediate member and said inner race member, interlocking with mechanical interlocking means said intermediate member and inner race member within said bore to effect the bearing support of said inner race member within said intermediate member.
