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

A male-threaded shank lets you build a linkage with a tapped tube or any female-threaded connection.

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

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

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

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

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.

Use these bent linkages for light duty applications.

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

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

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.

Create pivoting connections in applications that require high shear strength—the partially threaded shank of these rod end bolts withstands more side force than a fully threaded shank.

Pivot and hinge components in wet and corrosive environments with these stainless steel or brass rod end bolts.

With a rubber bushing, these bolts reduce noise and vibration—attach them to rods, pipes, tubes, and cable linkages that have male threading. They’re commonly known as isolated rod ends.

These alloy steel bolts have the highest tensile strength of any blank rod end bolt we offer.

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

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

Specially designed lubrication channels and integral seals allow these joints to last up to three times longer than other swivel joints.

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

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

These steel U-joints meet MIL-U-20625A Class A and have hardened yoke ears for added strength and durability.

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

These joints are made of steel.

Connect misaligned shafts in sanitary environments such as food, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical plants.

These joints are made of steel.

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.

Customize the bore size of these joints to fit your shaft. Each end has a small centered starter hole that makes drilling easy.

Tighten the set screws to fasten these couplings to your shaft. Set screws bite into the shaft to hold the couplings in place.

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.

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

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

With a bellows between two hubs, these couplings handle all types of misalignment and are good for precision stepper and encoder motion-control applications.

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

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.

Often used in electronics manufacturing facilities and other extra-clean environments, these shaft couplings are cleaned and individually bagged to keep out contaminants.

Made with lightweight nylon sleeves, these gear couplings require less energy to move than other high-torque flexible couplings. They compensate for parallel, angular, and axial misalignment.

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.

With a rigid gear design, these steel couplings transmit more torque than other couplings of the same size.

Install and remove these shaft couplings without disconnecting the shafts, motors, and other attached components—they’re made in two pieces so you don’t need to slide them onto shaft ends. They’re also useful when you have limited access to the ends of the shafts.

Machine the pilot hole in these couplings to whatever size you need. Often used for shafts that are undersized from wear or oversized from coatings. These couplings are two-piece, so you can remove and reinstall them without moving your shafts.

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

When one of your shafts is undersized from wear, oversized from coatings, or uncommonly sized, machine one end of these couplings to fit. They clamp around your shafts for a secure hold that won’t cause damage.

When you need a strong hold and even grip on shafts that are oversized due to finishes, undersized from wear, or uncommonly sized, we’ll make a coupling for you that fits just right. These couplings clamp around your shafts to prevent marring them.

Access one shaft without disconnecting the other. These rigid couplings have a solid bottom that connects the shafts and two top pieces that clamp the shafts independently.

Increase the diameter of your shaft while also making it longer.

If they exceed maximum torque, these couplings disengage, sound an alarm, and then automatically re-engage once the overtorque condition is eliminated.

Use hinges to add doors, lids, and machine guards to T-slotted framing.

Seal T-slots, rail ends, and gaps between rails to keep out dust, debris, and other contaminants.

Add panels to T-slotted framing to create machine guards, strip doors, and welding curtains.

Slide drawers, panels, and doors with these tracks and rollers.

Lock these brackets together with a pin or a bolt. They are often used on marine docks.
