    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.

    Clevis Rod Ends

    Connect a clevis rod end to a hydraulic cylinder to create a bend or pivot. Use these with pivot brackets and clevis pins (each component sold separately). They’re also known as yoke-end linkages.
    Stainless Steel—Stainless steel clevis rod ends are more corrosion resistant than steel clevis rod ends in wet environments.

    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.
