About Rod Ends
More
Ball Joint Rod Ends
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.
Zinc-plated steel rod ends provide moderate corrosion resistance.

Lubrication-Free Ball Joint Rod Ends
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.

Extended-Life Ball Joint Rod Ends
Seals keep out dirt and an oil-embedded foam insert slowly releases lubricant for a long life. You can remove the insert to add more oil if it starts to run dry. These rod ends have an eyelet and a ball that swivels to support angular misalignment. Made of zinc-plated steel, they have moderate corrosion resistance.

High-Load Ball Joint Rod Ends
These steel rod ends handle loads that are at least 25% higher than other comparably sized rod ends. PTFE allows smooth rotation and eliminates the need for lubrication.
Rod ends with Nylon/PTFE insert have a durable, self-sealing insert that reduces wear.

Corrosion-Resistant Fully Threaded Rod End Bolts
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 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. 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.
DIN 444 rod end bolts meet an international standard for rod end dimensions.
