ABSTRACT:
A method for making a non-metallic rod end bearing assembly to be interconnected with a control rod. The assembly comprises a rod end bearing and a hollow collar, such that the rod end bearing can be coupled to one end of the control rod by way of the collar. The rod end bearing and hollow collar are made by first impregnating respective reinforcement of non-metallic fibers with a resin. The resin impregnated fibers are then compression molded into the desired shape. By virtue of the present method, a rod end bearing assembly is available which is characterized by a longer life, greater resistance to corrosion and wear, and a superior weight-to-strength ratio relative to conventional rod end bearing assemblies that are manufactured from metal.
