Hirschmann – Advanced Rod Ends & Spherical Bearings for Demanding Industries
At Godiva Bearings, we stock the full range of Hirschmann bearings (including spherical and plain bearings) and rod ends, trusted in aerospace, motorsport, engineering, and beyond. Known for high-load performance and maintenance-free design, Hirschmann products combine German precision with cutting-edge materials — including aluminium-titanium for lightweight strength.
If your project demands long service life, minimal servicing, and serious resilience under pressure, Hirschmann is up to the task.
Designed for Strength, Engineered for Lightness
Hirschmann bearings are more than strong — they’re built to withstand long-term stress without compromising weight, movement, or serviceability. The product line includes:
- High-load rod ends and spherical plain bearings – Built for heavy oscillating motion
- Maintenance-free designs – With self-lubricating PTFE and sliding-layer technology
- Lightweight alloy models – Aluminium-titanium bearings reduce weight without losing strength
- Corrosion-resistant components – For use in marine, chemical, or exposed outdoor systems
Each unit is manufactured to strict DIN and ISO specifications, ensuring consistent performance and fit across a wide range of assemblies.
Where Hirschmann Bearings & Rd Ends Perform Best
You’ll find Hirschmann components wherever reliability, motion control, and resistance to fatigue are essential. Their combination of strength and low maintenance makes them ideal for:
- Vehicle construction and motorsport – Reducing unsprung weight while maintaining articulation under high load
- Aerospace and defence – Precision bearings used in actuators, control surfaces, and safety-critical linkages
- Rail and public transport – Suspension bearings and pivot points for long-distance, high-cycle systems
- Mechanical and plant engineering – Withstanding repeated movement and vibration with minimal wear
- Wind power and renewables – Bearings built to endure variable loads, weather exposure, and long intervals between inspections
- Automation and packaging systems – Compact motion components for 24/7 operation under constant load
This is a range designed to outlast standard bearings — especially in systems where downtime isn’t an option.
Materials That Meet Modern Engineering Demands
To support such a broad range of industries, Hirschmann uses a range of advanced materials:
- Aluminium-Titanium Alloy – Combines lightweight performance with exceptional load-bearing capacity
- PTFE-Lined Bearings – Reduces friction and eliminates the need for greasing
- Carbon and Stainless Steels – For high-strength, corrosion-resistant performance
- Hardened steel joints – To handle repeated articulation without deformation
These material choices are ideal for engineers balancing design weight, lifespan, and performance across demanding environments.
