Internally Threaded High-Speed Ball Bearing Rod Ends
A double row of precision ball bearings allows high speeds and smooth operation. Seals keep lubricant in and dirt out.
Carbon steel rod ends meet DIN dimensional and material standards. They come lubricated, so you won't need to lubricate them at installation. They will require ongoing lubrication.

High-Speed Ball Bearing Rod Ends
A double row of precision ball bearings allows high speeds and smooth operation. Rod ends are made of cadmium- or zinc-plated steel, which both offer moderate corrosion resistance. Seals keep lubricant in and dirt out.
Zinc-plated steel rod ends meet DIN dimensional standards. They come lubricated, so you won’t need to lubricate them at installation. They will require ongoing lubrication.

Internally Threaded Thrust-Rated Ball Joint Rod Ends
An innovative body design keeps the ball from being pushed out when supporting thrust loads. Rod ends are zinc-plated steel for moderate corrosion resistance and have a self-lubricating polyurethane insert.

Partially Threaded Rod End Bolts
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. Also known as swing bolts and eyebolts, they are used to create hinges, turnbuckles, and tie downs. Unlike ball joint rod ends, these rod end bolts are made from a single piece of metal, so they wear down more slowly and have a more controlled swing. However, because they do not have a moving ball joint, they do not compensate for angular misalignment.
Made from steel, they are stronger and more wear resistant than stainless steel rod end bolts, but they are not as corrosion resistant. Rod end bolts with a black-oxide finish have a dark, matte coating that keeps the steel from rusting in dry environments.
Rod end bolts that meet DIN 444 adhere to international dimensional standards, ensuring they are compatible with other parts and tools.
