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.

Made of stainless steel, these rod end bolts are stronger and more corrosion resistant than our standard flat-shoulder rod end bolts. Also known as jig latch bolts, they mount flush to any flat surface.

These black-oxide carbon steel rod end bolts are heat treated for added strength. Also known as jig latch bolts, they mount flush to any flat surface.

Pivot and hinge components in wet and corrosive environments with these stainless steel or brass rod end bolts. They're commonly known as swing bolts and eyebolts. With no moving parts, they're less likely to wear out than ball joint rod ends, although they don't compensate for misalignment as effectively. Use them to guide and connect components, such as tubing, or as a turnbuckle to tension wire and cable. They can also be used as tie downs and hinges.

With external threads, these bolts hold fast to female threaded components in applications where high shear strength is required, such as water pumps, alternators, and motor mounts. Because the shank is only partially threaded, they handle a greater amount of force from the side than bolts with a fully threaded shank.
