A rod end bearing, also known as a heim joint (North America) or rose joint (UK and elsewhere), is a mechanical articulating joint. Such joints are used on the ends of control rods, steering links , tie rods , or anywhere a precision articulating joint is required, and where a clevis end (which requires perfect alignment between the components ...
By using a scribed joint rather than an internal mitre joint, the effect of shrinkage is minimised. Also it is possible to arrange the scribed joints pointing away from the most common viewpoint (usually the doorway of a room) and so present the best appearance. Coping is also commonly used in cabinet-making for

[1] They bionically resemble the ball-and-socket joints found in most tetrapod animals. [2] A ball joint consists of a bearing stud and socket enclosed in a casing; all these parts are ...
