Description / Abstract:
The purpose of this test procedure is to provide a uniform
method of testing commercial spherical rod end bearings to
determine their performance characteristics under specific
application situations. This procedure is an extension of the
dimensional requirements for spherical rod end bearings as set
forth in SAE J1120 and J1286. The loads, number of cycles,
definition of failure, etc., are to be agreed to by the user and
supplier. This procedure can also be used as the basis for testing
ball joints covered by SAE J490
