Find the right rod end type and thread direction to control motion, adjust tension, and handle misalignment.
Mil. Spec. Ball Joint Rod Ends
 |
 |
Made of cadmium-plated steel, these rod ends generally handle higher loads than stainless steel, aluminum, and nylon rod ends. They provide moderate corrosion resistance. All have a PTFE liner that allows smooth ball rotation and eliminates the need for lubrication. Liner meets SAE AS81820.
Oversized Shank—Rod ends with an oversized shank have a shank that is one size larger than the ID to handle greater stress.
