Thread or weld the unfinished shank of these rod ends to meet your specific linkage needs.

These internally threaded rod ends have an eyelet and a ball that swivels to support angular misalignment. Also known as rod-end bearings.

A carbon fiber-reinforced insert or PTFE liner reduces wear, handles shock loads, and eliminates the need for lubrication.

Connect your grease gun to the fitting to lubricate. Internal threads mate with rod end bolts, threaded rods, and other components with male threads.

These internally threaded rod ends have an oil-embedded bronze insert that slowly releases lubricant over time. Connect your grease gun to the fitting to relubricate.

Made of cadmium-plated steel, these internally threaded rod ends generally handle higher loads than stainless steel, aluminum, and nylon rod ends.

Made to extremely tight tolerances, these externally threaded rod ends are for applications that require positioning accuracy, such as accelerators and other types of control linkages.

With at least 55° of ball swivel, these externally threaded rod ends accommodate greater misalignment than any other we offer.

Made of stainless steel, these externally threaded rod ends provide excellent corrosion resistance.

These anodized aluminum rod ends are lighter than stainless steel rod ends and have good corrosion resistance. Internal threads mate with rod end bolts, threaded rods, and other components with male threads.

Made of impact-resistant nylon, these internally threaded rod ends withstand corrosion as well as fuels, lyes, and weak acids. They do not require lubrication and are 80% lighter than steel rod ends.

These externally threaded steel rod ends handle loads that are at least 25% higher than other comparably sized rod ends.

An innovative body design keeps the ball from being pushed out when supporting thrust loads.

A double row of precision ball bearings allows high speeds and smooth operation.

Decrease the ID of your rod end to allow approximately 60° of misalignment.

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

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

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.

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

Made of stainless steel, these ball joint linkages offer more corrosion resistance than steel and zinc ball joint linkages.

Made of stainless steel, these ball joint linkages offer more corrosion resistance than steel ball joint linkages.

Use these externally threaded linkages to create inline pivoting connections.

Also known as spherical bearings, swivel joints support angular misalignment. Press them into a hole or housing where a ball joint rod end won’t fit.

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

These nylon swivel joints are 80% lighter than steel swivel joints with better corrosion resistance.

These rod end bolts are good for wet and corrosive environments—for maximum mounting flexibility, cut the fully threaded shaft to whatever length you need.

Good for general purpose applications where corrosion and high strength aren’t a concern, these rod end bolts are made of carbon steel.

Also known as swing bolts and eyebolts, these internally threaded rod end bolts have no moving parts. They're designed to make pivoting or hinge movements in applications that don't need to compensate for misalignment.

These black-oxide steel rod end bolts are heat treated for added strength.

To reduce noise and vibration, these bolts have a rubber bushing—connect them to rods, pipes, tubes, and cable linkages that have female threading. They’re also known as isolated rod ends.

Good for general purpose applications where corrosion and high strength aren’t a concern, these rod end bolts are made of carbon steel.

Made of stainless steel for excellent corrosion resistance, these nuts make pivoting and hinge movements where misalignment is not a concern.

These U-joints are made of steel or zinc.

These U-joints are made of steel or plastic.

Made of stainless steel, these U-joints offer excellent corrosion resistance. They also meet MIL-U-20625A Class A.

These U-joints handle at least 11,000 in.-lbs. of torque.

These joints are made of steel.

Made of stainless steel, these U-joints offer excellent corrosion resistance.

Stainless steel U-joints are more corrosion resistant than steel U-joints.

A set of gears transmit rotary motion at angles up to 136°—the widest angle of all our U-joints. They are for hand-powered, low-speed applications.

Joints have a fixed 2 1/2" overall length.

These pin-and-block style U-joints work at lower speeds but transmit greater torque than needle-bearing joints.

Designed to grip evenly around your shaft, these couplings provide more holding power than set screw couplings without marring the shaft.

Specially designed ridges allow these bellows couplings to compensate for more misalignment than other precision couplings—useful for low-torque, high-precision applications such as instrumentation and motion control.

An acetal plastic spacer at the center of these couplings insulates bearings, encoders, and other shaft components from stray electric current. Use them with servomotors, which sometimes generate current that travels down the shaft and can damage circuit boards, interfere with readings, and cause wear on bearing raceways.

Connect shafts and ball screws to high-speed servomotors and stepper motors—these shaft couplings handle four times more speed than standard servomotor couplings.

Able to handle high twisting forces as well as misalignment, these couplings are good for high-performance servomotor applications.

Safely connect slightly misaligned shafts near food lines—the spider on these couplings contains metal, so it’ll trigger a metal detector if a piece frays off and contaminates your batch.

Customize the bore of these flexible couplings to align uncommon shaft sizes as well as shafts that have become undersized from wear or oversized from coatings.

Each hub includes a set screw, which bites into your shaft to hold the coupling in place.

The thick split spider on these couplings takes on twice as much torque as standard split spiders, while a set screw holds the hubs in place on your shaft. Also known as jaw couplings, use them to connect motors to pumps, mixers, and other high-torque equipment.

A strip of flexible spring steel wraps around the teeth of both hubs to absorb sharp, momentary load increases that can come from motor startups, emergency braking, or sudden impact with hard objects.

Magnetic force transfers torque from one half of these couplings to the other; there’s no contact between the parts, so they won’t wear. Couplings compensate for angular and parallel misalignment.
