High-performance AURORA® bearings and rod ends

24/04/2025

AURORA® is a benchmark brand in the production of rod ends and spherical plain bearings, designed to meet a wide range of needs in motion transmission. Thanks to a solid quality system and production combining mechanical precision and excellent materials, AURORA® is able to supply high-performance components, both in their standard version and in customised configurations.

AURORA® items are produced according to both metric and inch dimensional standards. This allows a wider dimensional range to be covered.

Applications and areas of use

AURORA® components find application in a wide range of sectors, thanks to their resistance to high loads, vibrations and shocks, and their construction flexibility.

Here are some of the main sectors in which they are used:

  • Motorsport and high performance vehicles
  • Agricultural and off-road vehicles
  • Machine tools and industrial plants
  • Textiles and packaging
  • Aerospace and commercial aviation
  • Military and space vehicles
  • Office, sports and recreational equipment

This variety of applications is made possible by a modular design and a range that includes both relubricable and maintenance-free versions.

Technical characteristics of AURORA® components

AURORA® components are characterised by their robust and detailed construction, offering high performance even under the most demanding conditions. They are available with steel-on-steel couplings, ideal for applications requiring free and precise movement even at high temperatures, or steel-on-PTFE marked with the suffix ‘T’. This series includes an AURORA® patented liner, chemically bonded to the steel bushing, which acts as a maintenance-free sliding surface, minimising friction and making the component quiet and efficient throughout its service life.

Depending on application requirements, it is also possible to request couplings with adjusted backlash, looser, more precise or even pre-loaded. In addition, knuckle heads can be supplied, on request, with a male threaded stud permanently inserted in the inner ring, offering a compact and functional solution. For inch threads (UNF standard), AURORA® also supplies both left and right locknuts, ensuring perfect integration into existing mechanical systems.

AURORA® warranty

Aurora offers mechanical components that guarantee consistent performance over time, even under severe working conditions. AURORA® spherical plain bearings and rod ends are designed to withstand high loads, vibrations and shocks, ensuring smooth and precise movements in every application. Their wide configuration possibilities, combined with wear resistance, make them ideal for dynamic systems, even at high performance.
