Angle Joints and Ball Joints Create Movement

From mbo Osswald GmbH & Co KG
 

 

Angle joints serve as linking and guiding elements for movable parts and create corner joints. These parts from component suppliers can significantly simplify mechanical construction, be used to transfer power in offset axles, transmit movement and are indispensable in all mechanical operations such as cushioning, drawing, tilting, levering, etc. But that is not all. Housings, ball studs and Co. are as various in their geometry, appearance and construction as the ideas of the designers.

There are standard parts in every possible size, construction and material composition available for most applications. As one of the leading German specialist for linking elements, mbo Osswald always keeps a large number of angle joints out of his product palette of more than 12,000 parts in stock. In addition to the DIN 71802 angle joints which consist of DIN 71805 housings and DIN 71803 ball studs, every possible variation is ready to be called up by the customer. There is also a choice of surface protection such as, for example, blank, galvanised zinc, steel or stainless-steel versions. For problematic environmental conditions (dust, lubricants) there are special angle joints with sealing caps available. The space between housing and ball stud is enclosed and sealed with a cap - the best protection against damage caused by environmental influences. The programme is extended with axial joints.
