    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 Carbon Steel—Zinc-plated steel rod ends provide moderate corrosion resistance.

    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.
    Brass—Brass rod end bolts resist corrosion in humid and wet environments, but not as well as stainless steel bolts. They're also not as strong. Often, brass bolts are chosen for their look, or to match other components, such as hinges.
    303 Stainless Steel—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.
    Black-Oxide 303 Stainless Steel—Black-oxide 303 stainless steel rod end bolts have a matte-black finish that adds some corrosion resistance but is mostly chosen for its looks.
    316 Stainless Steel—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.
    ASTM A276, ASTM A582, and ASTM B16—ASTM rod end bolts meet a standard for material.

    Made to extremely tight tolerances, these rod ends are for applications that require positioning accuracy, such as accelerators and other types of control linkages. Rod ends are steel and generally handle higher loads than stainless steel, aluminum, and nylon rod ends. They have a heat-treated steel ball for added strength and a brass insert for smooth operation. They come lubricated, so you won't need to lubricate them at installation.
