    Eyebolts—For Lifting

    Create a secure attachment point for hooks, shackles, and other lifting equipment. Also known as machinery eyebolts, these eyebolts are used to lift heavy machines and materials. They have a closed eye that won’t bend under strain.
    Warning: Never use to lift people or items over people. Capacities listed are for vertical lifting only.

    Made of steel, these rod ends generally handle higher loads than stainless steel, aluminum, and nylon rod ends. They don’t come lubricated, so you’ll need to lubricate during installation and on an ongoing basis.
    Oversized Shank—Rod ends with an oversized shank have a shank that is one size larger than the ID to handle greater stress.
    Zinc-Plated Carbon Steel—Zinc-plated steel rod ends provide moderate corrosion resistance.

    316 Stainless Steel

    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. Also known as swing bolts and eyebolts, 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.
    303 Stainless Steel and 304 Stainless Steel—303 and 304 stainless steel rod end bolts won't rust in humid, wet, and washdown environments. They're stronger than brass bolts and nearly as strong as steel. They will rust when exposed to salt water and chemicals, however.
    Black-Oxide 303 Stainless Steel—Black-oxide 303 stainless steel rod end bolts have a matte-black finish that adds some corrosion resistance but is mostly chosen for its looks.
    17-4 PH Stainless Steel—17-4 PH stainless steel rod end bolts have the most tensile strength—a similar amount to high-strength alloy steel. They also won’t rust in humid, wet, and washdown environments. Even at high temperatures, they maintain their excellent strength and corrosion resistance, so they’re often used in automotive drive trains and heat exchangers. However, they’ll rust when exposed to salt water and chemicals.
    316 Stainless Steel—316 stainless steel rod end bolts are our most corrosion resistant, and they're nearly as strong as steel rod end bolts. Use them in areas with salt water, chlorine, and chemicals without worrying about rust.
    ASTM A193, ASTM A276, ASTM A564, and ASTM A582—ASTM rod end bolts meet a standard for material.

    For ease of installation, these rod ends come with a compatible jam nut. They have an eyelet and a ball that swivel to support angular misalignment. All are carbon steel, so they handle higher loads than stainless steel, aluminum, and nylon rod ends. However, they don’t resist corrosion. They need to be lubricated when first installed and periodically after that. Apply any type of bearing grease to the ball, and rotate it to work it into the races.

    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. Also known as control swivels, they provide an excellent pivoting connection between light mechanical components while constraining excess play. A Buna-N disc dampens vibration.
    Lock Washer, Nut, and Set Screw—Rod ends with set screw, nut, and lock washer have a self-locking set screw and integral nut with lock washer for added holding strength.

    A carbon fiber-reinforced insert or PTFE liner reduces wear, handles shock loads, and eliminates the need for lubrication. Made of steel, these rod ends generally handle higher loads than stainless steel, aluminum, and nylon rod ends. All are zinc plated, so they resist corrosion for a short time before the finish is consumed and the steel is exposed.

    Ball Joint Rod End

    A carbon fiber-reinforced insert or PTFE liner reduces wear, handles shock loads, and eliminates the need for lubrication. Made of steel, these rod ends generally handle higher loads than stainless steel, aluminum, and nylon rod ends. All are zinc plated, so they resist corrosion for a short time before the finish is consumed and the steel is exposed.

    Made to extremely tight tolerances, these rod ends are for applications that require positioning accuracy, such as accelerators and other types of control linkages. Rod ends are steel and generally handle higher loads than stainless steel, aluminum, and nylon rod ends. They have a heat-treated steel ball for added strength and a brass insert for smooth operation. They come lubricated, so you won't need to lubricate them at installation. They will require ongoing lubrication.
    Zinc-Plated Carbon Steel—Zinc- and cadmium-plated rod ends provide moderate corrosion resistance.
