ABSTRACT:
A process for making an all-plastic rod end to enable an articulated linking of two members. The process includes providing first and second split bearing raceway members each of which defines one-half of an annular bearing raceway and a stem having an open ended semi-cylindrical recess. A spherical ball dimensioned to fit in the annular bearing raceway also is provided. The spherical ball is placed into the first split bearing raceway member, and the second split bearing raceway member is placed over the first split bearing raceway member to define a complete annular bearing raceway that encases the ball. The process continues by molding a plastic housing around the split bearing raceway members but spaced from the spherical ball to enable free movement of the spherical ball therein.
