Ball joints for testing tasks
FGB Fertigungsgeraetebau Adolf Steinbach GmbH & Co KG - Stand: 8026

FGB will present its play-free ball joints for test benches and test bench components. Durable, reliable, low-maintenance and available in standard and special sizes, as well as load ratings between 10kN and 160kN, FGB’s ball joints allow rotary movements in three directions during dynamic testing.

The joints comprise a ball and two plastic-coated bearing caps that are clamped to each other so that the balls have no play and can move with little friction. Connecting geometries on the joint casing and on the ball can be designed to meet customer specifications as required. The ball joints allow rotation of a test object and can be realized in a swinging angle of up to 45°.

Maintenance is made easy thanks to the integrated lubrication nipples for occasional regreasing. Furthermore, the play between the ball and the bearing caps can be readjusted by releasing the pressure screws of the upper bearing cap. The lack of play needs to be checked at regular intervals, however, and readjusted as necessary to guarantee durability.
