McMaster-Carr

Able to stand up to frequent use, these linkages offer excellent wear resistance. They consist of ball joint rod ends with a ball stud attached to simplify mounting.

Internally Threaded
Ball Joint Linkages

These linkages offer excellent wear resistance. They consist of internally threaded ball joint rod ends with a ball stud attached to simplify mounting.

Lubrication-Free Ball Joint Linkages

A slippery PTFE liner reduces wear and eliminates the need for lubrication.

Ball Joint Linkages with Grease Fitting

Along with excellent wear resistance, these linkages have a grease fitting for easy lubrication.

Internally Threaded
Lubrication-Free Ball Joint Linkages

These internally threaded linkages have a slippery PTFE liner that reduces wear and eliminates the need for lubrication.

Internally Threaded Ball Joint
Linkages with Grease Fitting

Along with excellent wear resistance, these linkages have a grease fitting for easy lubrication. An internally threaded rod end connects to threaded rods, studs, and other parts with male threads.

Oil-Embedded Ball Joint Linkages

An oil-embedded bronze insert slowly releases lubricant throughout the life of the joint.

Internally Threaded
Oil-Embedded Ball Joint Linkages

These internally threaded linkages have an oil-embedded bronze insert that slowly releases lubricant throughout the life of the joint.

Inline Ball Joint Linkages

Internally Threaded
Inline Ball Joint Linkages

Use these linkages to create inline pivoting connections. They have internal threads on one end and external threads on the other.

Inline Ball Joint Linkages

Use these externally threaded linkages to create inline pivoting connections.

Swivel-Shaft Rod Ends

With a ball joint at the top of the shank, these rod ends pivot in the middle of the body instead of in the eyelet. Use them for linear push applications that require movement along the length of the connecting rod.

Connecting Rods

Designed for use with right-hand, internally threaded rod ends, these rods have right-hand threads on both ends. Use them for remote valve operators, throttle controllers, shifting mechanisms, and virtually any push/pull assembly.

Internally Threaded Connecting Rods

Designed for use with right-hand, externally threaded rod ends, these rods have right-hand threads on both ends. Use them for remote valve operators, throttle controllers, shifting mechanisms, and virtually any push/pull assembly.

Turnbuckle-Style Connecting Rods

Similar to turnbuckles, these rods have right-hand threads on one end and left-hand threads on the other so you can make a linkage that adjusts for tension. Add right- and left-hand threaded rod ends to build your linkages.

Internally Threaded
Turnbuckle-Style Connecting Rods

Designed for use with right-hand threaded rod ends, these rods have right-hand threads on both ends. Use them for remote valve operators, throttle controllers, shifting mechanisms, and virtually any push/pull assembly.

Hollow Female Threaded Rods

Connect and separate threaded rods, studs, and other components. These hollow rods have internal threads on both ends, so you can make connections and still pass wiring and other objects through the center of the rod.
