Subject: RE:Where to get heim rod ends? by Slalom4me on 2008/1/30 21:22:20 Did anyone mention THK, yet? Here is info about THK's Rod Ends. Here is their Link Ball catalog Quote=BrianCunningham "I just wonder what temps the resin and seals can take." From Link Ball Technical Description Page A-939: Temperature Range "The temperature range of the Link Ball series is basically between -20ºC and 80ºC (-4ºF to 176ºF). If the service temperature exceeds this range, contact THK [(see examples of testing outside this range on pages A-930 to A-933)]" On pages A-932 and A-933 they report on results from 280 hrs at -30ºC and 100ºC (-22ºF and 212ºF) "The boot did not show a crack or the like at low temperature. The holder did not show abnormal wear and the boot did not show thermal deterioration at high temperature." Carroll Smith's books have a great deal of information regarding design, fabrication and attachment of racecar bits. . |
