monoball
 

By accident I think I've invented something. I was wondering if a monorail would work on this product. Maybe I'm thinking about something else.

I need a fitting that pivots or is able to move around like the ball on turbo tie rods.

Is there a place that has different sizes so I might be able to test it out to see what size will work on this product.

I can't tell you what it is tho.
Any help would be great.
Thanks in advance. RT.

Thing is...with cars, there is more often an opportunity to learn from mistakes....on bikes, not so much. Combine that inexperience with the young's feeling of immortality and stuff happens. One of my daughter's jobs was an RN in a Rapid City Hospital. When the Sturgis thing was going on, the ER there was very busy.

Spherical rod ends? There are closed and open styles. Or maybe you need a spherical bearing with an axial orientation.

Look at these.

This is not for a car part. It's something that will help a lot of people and it's not auto related.
Interesting web site.

From your description I am thinking along the same lines as Zeke. Is this what you are looking for?

From your description it sounds like you are looking for something like this monoball that connects two of some sort of "stick" where the shaft of one stick is concentric with the shell of the bearing and the shaft of the other moves with the ball. The only off the shelf thing I can think of that is like that is the Turbo tie rod ends that you mentioned. You may have to buy the bearing and provide your own "sticks" to build what you need.

You can get these from any good tractor dealer. I would guess that Kubota would have the size and quality that you'd be looking for.

Spherical bearings are made by a number of companies there are many options.
Keep in mind - different models allow a different maximum angle.
